Very fine genre painting with children and rabbits was executed by Felix Schlesinger (1833-1910), important German genre painter of the Duesseldorf School, who recieved acknowledge for his scenes with children and domestic animals.

Felix Schlesinger began his education in Hamburg in 1848 with Friedrich Heimerdinger. He is one of the most well-known painters of children´s motifs, which were already sought internationally in the 19th century and were collected mainly in England and America. His further training took place in the then world centres of figurative painting: In Antwerp, in Düsseldorf at the Academy of Fine Arts and with Rudolf Jordan as well as in Paris. From 1861 to 1863 he worked in Frankfurt am Main, then settled in Munich. From here, the exhibitions in Dresden, Berlin and Vienna sent with depictions of children in the countryside, which met with a sure instinct to the tastes of the German and international public.

The painter Carl Schlesinger (1825 – 1893) was his brother.
