About this work

You see a man sitting in a tree, watching a wild boar run below. The man is still, but the boar is moving fast. This contrast makes the scene interesting. The bold lines used to draw the scene add to the feeling of urgency. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré, to see more of his bold and dynamic artwork.
