Young Hare is a 1502
watercolour and
bodycolour painting by German artist
Albrecht Dürer. Painted in 1502 in his workshop, it is acknowledged as a masterpiece of observational art alongside his
Great Piece of Turf from the following year. The subject is rendered with almost photographic accuracy, and although the piece is normally given the title
Young Hare, the portrait is sufficiently detailed for the hare to be identified as a mature specimen. The painting is now held in
Albertina, Vienna.
