The Sow 

"The Sow" is a powerful black and white drawing by Belgian artist Rik Wouters, created sometime between 1908 and 1916. Wouters, known for his expressive and often bold style, captures the essence of the sow in a few simple lines, drawing attention to the animal's form and movement. The work's economy of line and stark contrast, with its minimal detail, creates a sense of immediacy and energy, typical of Wouters' artistic approach. This piece offers a glimpse into the artist's distinct style, characterized by bold, dynamic lines and a focus on capturing the essence of the subject.
