Drie varkens 1632 - 1678

"Drie varkens" (Three Pigs), a drawing created by Dutch artist Karel du Jardin, depicts a quick, gestural sketch of three pigs. This drawing, created between 1632 and 1678, showcases du Jardin’s masterful ability to capture the essence of his subjects. Using loose, expressive lines, he emphasizes the animals’ forms and movement, resulting in a dynamic and lively composition. This work reflects du Jardin's interest in depicting the natural world. Today it can be found in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
