Peter Rabbit

This Ana Inciardi mini print depicts Peter Rabbit seated upright, dressed in a blue jacket and small dark shoes, clutching two carrots with leafy green tops in both paws. His long white ears curve gently backward, and an expressive burst of whiskers fans out from his face. The coloring is loose and lively, with the blue of the jacket applied in an open, textured way that lets the paper show through, and the greens of the carrot tops rendered in a similarly relaxed hand.

The figure sits centered against the plain cream background, giving the composition a quiet, storybook stillness. Peter Rabbit originated in Beatrix Potter's 1902 illustrated tale, where the young rabbit sneaks into Mr. McGregor's garden and narrowly escapes.

The character has remained one of the most recognized figures in children's literature for well over a century. Collectors drawn to illustrated characters and literary subjects gravitate toward this print for the way Inciardi's printmaking texture gives a familiar image its own distinct personality, separate from the original Potter illustrations. The slightly rough ink quality and hand-colored feel place it firmly within her broader print series of character and animal subjects rather than photographic reproduction.

It pairs naturally with her other animal prints, and collectors who focus on that corner of her catalog tend to seek this one out as a recognizable anchor piece. The handwritten label at the bottom reading "Peter Rabbit" reinforces the personal, studio quality that runs throughout her work.
