About the artwork
Artist Ingrid Kruit was commissioned in the early 1980s to make play objects for three children's farms in Rotterdam. For this children's farm, De Kooi in Lombardijen, she made a brown wooden rabbit, which was placed in the lawn next to the access path in 1983. This rabbit is a clearly striking and cheerful element and is fun for children to climb on. It is low enough to be used as a playground device. The wooden rabbit has been replaced by a metal variant with a coating, so that the rabbit is more resistant to the weather.
