John James Audubon, a renowned American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter, is best known for his expansive studies and illustrations of North American birds. However, his artistic endeavors were not limited to avian subjects. Among his lesser-known but equally captivating works is "Northern Hare, Summer, No. 3." This piece is part of Audubon's ambitious project, "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," which he undertook in collaboration with his sons and the Reverend John Bachman. The project aimed to document and illustrate the diverse mammalian fauna of North America, much like his earlier work, "The Birds of America," did for avian species.

"Northern Hare, Summer, No. 3" captures the Northern Hare, also known as the Snowshoe Hare (Lepus americanus), in its summer coat. Unlike its winter counterpart, which is white to blend with the snow, the summer coat of the Northern Hare is a brownish hue, providing camouflage against the forest floor and underbrush. Audubon’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the lifelike portrayal of the hare, showcasing its distinctive large hind feet and alert posture. The background of the illustration is equally detailed, featuring elements of the hare's natural habitat, which includes dense foliage and a variety of plant species.

The illustration is not merely a scientific depiction but also a work of art, reflecting Audubon's unique ability to combine scientific accuracy with aesthetic appeal. His use of vibrant colors and dynamic compositions brings the subject to life, engaging viewers and providing insight into the natural world. "Northern Hare, Summer, No. 3" stands as a testament to Audubon's dedication to the study and appreciation of North American wildlife, contributing significantly to the field of natural history and the arts.
