Two greyhounds, one white and one black, stand poised in profile while two rabbits leap away in mid-jump. Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso flattened the dogs into long, elegant silhouettes and gave the rabbits a decorative pattern taken from Japanese prints; he copied the same rabbit into his Saut du Lapin, now at the Art Institute of Chicago. It was one of the first paintings the Portuguese artist ever exhibited, at the 27th Salon des Indépendants in Paris in 1911, and according to Diogo de Macedo, his friend Modigliani became excited when he saw it there. Technical studies later found two earlier paintings beneath it, a woman and a pastoral scene with horses. It is in the Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian in Lisbon.
