Drie varkens 1876 - 1924

"Drie varkens" (Three Pigs) is a simple yet charming pencil drawing by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof. Created between 1876 and 1924, the artwork depicts three pigs in profile, arranged in a line from smallest to largest. The loose, almost childlike lines create a sense of immediacy and informality, capturing the essence of these farm animals. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the drawing is a testament to Dijsselhof's artistic range, showcasing his ability to render subjects with both realism and expressive freedom.
