Farmyard with Haystack and Pigs n.d.

This unsigned, undated drawing by an anonymous artist depicts a farmyard scene featuring a cluster of rustic barns, a haystack, and a herd of pigs. The artist uses subtle shading and fine lines to convey the details of the architecture and the texture of the hay. The composition is balanced and calm, conveying a sense of rural life and the quiet simplicity of nature. The drawing is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago. This piece is a great example of realism in art, a style that emphasizes accurate representation of the world.
