Pig trade 1896

"Pig Trade" is a pen and ink drawing by Fritz Boehle created in 1896. The artwork, now housed in the Städel Museum, depicts a group of men in rural attire, seemingly engaged in a trade. A pig, a wheelbarrow, and a rooster are also present in the scene, highlighting the artist's interest in everyday rural life. The detailed lines and hatching create a sense of depth and realism, capturing the textures of the barn, the men's clothing, and the animal. This drawing exemplifies Boehle's mastery of linework and his focus on capturing the essence of rural German life.
