That painting of the scary giant rabbit hunting peasants to put in the wicker basket on its back. What's it called and who painted it? Will enslave or devour the farmer and his daughter?

And clearly the rabbit is going to grind up their bodies until they're attenuated enough to blow into an Easter egg.

Google says it's called "Frohe Ostern" or "Glad Easter" in English. As Marit mentioned, the artist is indeed Michael Sowa.

Here's where I found it.

Point of interest - Frohe Ostern just means "Happy Easter", it's a turn of phrase, like Frohe Weihnachten for Merry Christmas.
