1884
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Two Pigs is a 1884 by Charles Jacque, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows two pigs eating from a pile of hay. The background is dark and rough, like a barn wall or fence. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show the pigs’ fur and the texture of the hay. The lines are loose and uneven, making the scene feel real and alive. The artist focused on how the pigs look in their natural setting. Next, check out Realism to see how artists like this one captured everyday life.
Charles-Émile Jacque (23 May 1813 – 7 May 1894) was a French painter of Pastoralism and engraver who was, with Jean-François Millet, part of the Barbizon School. He first learned to engrave maps when he spent seven years in the French Army.
