Study of Pigs 

Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps was a 19th-century French painter known for his animal studies and Orientalist scenes. His "Study of Pigs" is a prime example of his keen observation and detailed brushwork. The painting features two pigs, one standing and one lying down, in a dimly lit, rustic setting. The artist's use of warm browns and muted tones creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the animals' textures and forms. Decamps' study of pigs showcases his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, making this work a testament to his mastery of animal painting.
