"The Favourite Rabbit" is an engraving created by the English artist and engraver Charles Knight (1743–c.1826), which was published in the year 1792. The work is based on an original pastel drawing by John Russell (1745–1806), a renowned English portrait painter and Royal Academician who was particularly celebrated for his mastery of the pastel medium. Knight's engraving captures the delicate nuances of Russell's original artwork, showcasing the artist's ability to render the softness and texture of the rabbit's fur, as well as the animal's lifelike presence.

As an engraver, Charles Knight was active during a period in British history when the art of engraving was highly regarded for its ability to reproduce and disseminate works of art to a broader audience. Engravings such as "The Favourite Rabbit" played a significant role in the visual culture of the time, allowing the public to engage with fine art outside of galleries and the homes of the wealthy.

John Russell's original pastel of the rabbit would have been admired for its technical skill and the emerging sentimentality in portraying animals during the late 18th century. The subject of the rabbit, often associated with qualities of innocence and charm, reflects the period's growing interest in nature and the depiction of animals in art.

"The Favourite Rabbit" stands as a testament to the collaborative relationship between painter and engraver, and it exemplifies the craftsmanship involved in translating the subtleties of pastel work into the medium of engraving. This piece remains a significant example of late 18th-century British art, demonstrating the era's appreciation for both the technical skill of the artists and the natural world as a source of inspiration.
