Boereninterieur met geslacht varken 1630 - 1673

This etching by Jacob Louys, titled "Boereninterieur met geslacht varken," depicts a scene of a butchered pig hanging in a rustic interior. The scene is full of details that convey the daily life of a farmer, including a woman preparing sausage in a barrel, a man holding a knife, and a dog inspecting the carcass. This 17th-century Dutch artwork exemplifies the genre of "genre painting," focusing on everyday life and domestic settings. The image is a testament to the artist's keen observation of rural life, captured in a detailed and realistic manner.
