"Selling Rabbits" is an engraving created by the notable English engraver William Ward (1766-1826) in the year 1796, based on a painting by his brother, James Ward. James Ward, an acclaimed painter particularly known for his animal paintings, was one of the leading artists of the animalier school in Britain, and his works often depicted the rural life and landscapes of the English countryside with a focus on livestock and wildlife.

The engraving "Selling Rabbits" captures a scene of rural commerce, where the transaction of selling rabbits is taking place, likely in a market or farm setting. The artwork reflects the socio-economic practices of the time and provides a window into the everyday life of rural England at the turn of the 19th century. William Ward's skillful engraving technique would have translated his brother's original painting into a medium that allowed for wider dissemination and appreciation among the public, as engravings could be reproduced more easily than paintings.

William Ward was an accomplished mezzotint engraver and was appointed engraver to the Duke of York and the Prince of Wales. His works are characterized by their fine detail and rich tonality, which would have been well suited to the textural contrasts and subtle gradations of light and shadow inherent in a scene depicting fur and figures in an outdoor setting.

"Selling Rabbits" by William Ward, after James Ward's painting, stands as an example of the collaborative efforts between artist siblings during the period and highlights the importance of engraving in the art world of the late 18th century. It serves as a testament to the artistic legacy of the Ward brothers and provides art historians and enthusiasts with a glimpse into the rural economy and artistic practices of the time.
