This sketch shows a man in a dark coat sitting in a chair, holding a bowl. A pig’s head leans over his shoulder, almost like it’s sniffing his food. The room looks simple, with a table and a lamp in the background. The artist made the lines rough and quick, giving it a sketchy, urgent feel. The title hints this might be a joke about a famous person—maybe mocking how pigs are greedy. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Check out Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri de.
