that rabbit

I know this is very old news, but I just found the painting for a patron and I am unsettled by it, so much so that I cannot stop looking at it.

I had recurring nightmares as a child about a gigantic rabbit. Although he did not look exactly like this, the painting captures something of that old terror. Perhaps I am most disturbed by the girl’s expression. What is she feeling?
