Young Hare was created by Albrecht Durer, a German artist. Completed in Durer's workshop in 1502, it has been widely acknowledged as an observational art masterpiece. While often given the English title of The Young Hare, the subject itself has actually been identified as mature. The German title Feldhase literally translates to Field Hare, a more apt title.

The painting dates back to 1502, when Durer returned to Nuremburg after his first trip to Italy. The painting itself was created using both body color (also known as gouache) and watercolor; two mediums Durer frequently used. The painting depicts a solitary hare, though some speculation about how the image was captured so accurately has arisen. Some suggest that he first sketched wild hares and then filled in the fur details using a dead specimen, others believe that he captured a hare and kept it in his workshop.

Durer managed to create an extremely detailed and very accurate portrayal of a hare, one mottled with dark and light patches, with fur pointing in many directions. The picture is infused with warmth, a golden light that strikes the hare on the left side, highlighting the ears, illuminating the fur along the left side, giving sparks of life to the eyes.
