The Sow is a 1914 oil by Jan Stobbaerts, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
The painting depicts a sow in front of a building, likely a barn or stable. The animal is centered in the composition, with its head down and body facing to the left. The background features a wall with a doorway and a window, suggesting a rural or farm setting. The artist's use of muted colors and loose brushstrokes creates a sense of warmth and texture, drawing the viewer's attention to the sow. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to reflect on the simple beauty of the scene.
