Antique Engraving “The Rabbit on the Wall” After Sir David Wilkie R.A. – Engraved by John Burnet – 19th Century Engraving 1877
A fine 19th-century engraving titled “The Rabbit on the Wall”, after the original painting by Sir David Wilkie, R.A. Engraved by John Burnet, this charming scene beautifully captures a family gathered in their humble cottage, delighting in the simple amusement of a hand-shadow rabbit cast upon the wall.
Wilkie’s genre paintings were celebrated for their warmth, humour, and insight into everyday domestic life, and Burnet’s skilled engraving translates that charm perfectly through rich tonal detail and expressive faces.
Some age-related toning and light foxing, mainly to the margins, with minor staining and handling marks consistent with age. The image itself remains clear and detailed. Please refer to photos provided
A delightful antique engraving that embodies early 19th-century British charm — ideal for collectors of Wilkie prints, Georgian or Victorian art, or traditional home décor.
