Twee zwijnen 1656

"Twee zwijnen" (Two Pigs) is an etching created in 1656 by Dutch Golden Age artist Karel du Jardin. This small-scale artwork, measuring 122 mm by 153 mm, depicts two pigs in a landscape setting. The pig on the left lies asleep near a fence, while the other pig stands in the foreground. This work exemplifies du Jardin's keen eye for detail and mastery of animal anatomy, characteristic of his oeuvre. It is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
