Farm with Pigs Foraging is a 1802 by Henry Edridge, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet farm scene with three pigs grazing near a weathered wooden barn. The trees loom overhead, their branches twisting across the sky. The ground is a mix of dirt and patches of grass, with a small stream running in the foreground. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture light and shadow, giving the scene a soft, dreamy feel. This style was common in early Romantic-era works. Next, look up Romanticism to see how artists like this one played with emotion and nature.
