A black and white spotted rabbit sits inside a wire cage filled with wood shavings while a person gently reaches in to pet its nose through the bars. The person is wearing a bright green and white flower ring, and the rabbit has its face near a small feed cup attached to the cage. A tag hangs from the cage, suggesting the rabbit is part of a show or display.
