"Donkey and Pigs," painted in 1789 by English artist George Morland (1763-1804), depicts a donkey and a group of pigs in a rustic setting. The donkey stands in the center of the composition, while the pigs lie in the foreground. The animals are rendered with great detail and realism, showcasing Morland's skill in capturing the beauty of everyday life. This painting is a prime example of Morland's genre painting, known for its focus on rural scenes and the lives of common people.
