Pigs 1775 - 1800

George Morland's "Pigs" is a charming 18th-century painting that showcases his mastery of animal portraiture. The painting, likely completed between 1775 and 1800, depicts two piglets in a rustic setting, emphasizing their endearing features and playful personalities. Morland's realistic and detailed brushstrokes capture the softness of their fur and the expressiveness of their eyes. The simple yet effective composition, featuring a humble barrel and scattered vegetables, adds to the scene's rustic charm, making "Pigs" a delightful representation of rural life in the late 18th century.
