"Chien Devant Un Lièvre" (English: "Dog in Front of a Hare") is a painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Oudry, a prominent painter of the Rococo era known for his naturalistic representation of animals and still life. Created in 1742, this work exemplifies Oudry's skill in capturing the vitality of wildlife and the drama of the hunt, themes that were popular among the aristocratic patrons of his time.

The painting depicts a moment of tension as a hound, with keen attention and poised stance, confronts a hare in a natural setting. Oudry's mastery in rendering the textures of fur and the play of light on the surrounding vegetation is evident, showcasing his attention to detail and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of life and immediacy.

Jean-Baptiste Oudry was trained under the tutelage of Nicolas de Largillierre and became a member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1719. He served as a professor at the Academy and was appointed as the director of the Beauvais tapestry manufactory, where he played a significant role in the design of tapestries. His work was highly regarded by King Louis XV, and he received numerous commissions from the royal court and wealthy patrons.

"Chien Devant Un Lièvre" is a testament to Oudry's artistic legacy and his contribution to the development of animal painting in the 18th century. The painting not only reflects the aesthetic preferences of the Rococo period but also serves as a historical document of the cultural and social interests of the French elite during the reign of Louis XV. The artwork is held in high esteem by art historians and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance.
