Zeichnung zur Fibel_ Schwein c. 1905

"Zeichnung zur Fibel_ Schwein" (c. 1905) is a pen and ink drawing by Hans Thoma, a prominent German artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Depicting a mother pig and her two piglets in a barnyard, the drawing exemplifies Thoma's characteristic style of rendering animals with a naturalism that borders on caricature, emphasizing their physical form with simplified yet expressive lines. This drawing, likely intended for a children's primer, showcases Thoma's artistic versatility and his affinity for capturing the essence of everyday life. The piece is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
