A sleeping pig is a 14 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The drawing shows a pig lying on the ground. It's a simple scene, but what's interesting is that the artist chose to depict the pig sleeping, which gives the drawing a sense of calm. The fact that the pig's visible eye is closed adds to this peaceful atmosphere. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
