Pigs at Pasture is a 1881 oil by Nathaniel Hone the Younger, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a landscape with a group of pigs grazing in a field. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a cloudy sky. The pigs are depicted in various poses, some standing and others lying down, giving the impression of a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The trees in the background are painted in shades of green, while the pigs are depicted in warm tones of brown and beige. The cloudy sky above adds a sense of movement and energy to the scene. The painting is a beautiful example of landscape art, and its serene atmosphere makes it a pleasure to look at.
