About this work

This drawing depicts a butcher standing in front of a large animal carcass, likely a pig, hanging from a hook. The butcher is wearing an apron and a hat, and has a cigarette in his mouth. He appears to be in the process of cutting up the animal. In the background, there is a sign that reads "Fleici Antricoate Muschi" which is likely the name of the butcher shop. The drawing is rendered in a loose, expressive style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, as if the butcher is in the midst of a busy day's work. The drawing's use of bold lines and minimal shading gives it a dynamic, expressive feel. For more on the technique of cross-hatching, look up the artist Albert, Poch.
