"Vi er svin, fallit! oh oh oh", an anonymous satirical print from 1834-1866, depicts a scene of pigs in a farmyard. The image satirizes a social or political situation by comparing the pigs to humans. This piece, held at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a small but powerful statement about the human condition through animal allegory, a common theme in satirical art. The artwork uses humor to critique societal norms, making it a poignant commentary on Danish social dynamics of the time. The small size and the use of color in this hand-colored print make it a visually striking and thought-provoking piece.
