"Varken" (Pig) is a woodcut by Dutch artist Julie de Graag, created between 1923 and 1924. The simple, bold black and white image depicts a pig standing in a field, its form outlined against a dark background. De Graag's signature style, characterized by clear lines and strong contrasts, is evident in this piece. The artwork is a fine example of her distinctive woodcut technique, showcasing the beauty of simplistic, graphic representation. "Varken" is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
