Description:This is an oil painting on canvas depicting two prize pigs. During the 19th century paintings of farm animals became a recognised genre, as, in an attempt to produce bigger and better livestock, itinerant artists would agree to produce an exagerated portrait of a prize animal in order to satisfy its owner. This painting is an excellent example of this. Framed size Height 610mm, Width 755mm, Depth 40mm
