EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing image is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jan Brandes, titled "Pigs without Hind Legs," created in 1785. The drawing is part of Brandes' sketchbook, now held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The unusual concept of the artwork features two Eurasian wild pigs or boars facing each other, each missing its hind legs. The pigs, depicted in a gray and colorless palette, are rendered with remarkable detail and expression, their faces conveying a sense of curiosity and interaction. The drawing is believed to have been created during Brandes' travels through Asia, possibly in Sri Lanka, as part of the Dutch colonial administration. The low country terrain of Sri Lanka may have provided Brandes with the opportunity to observe and sketch the native wild pigs, which are also known as Colombo swine or Sri Lankan wild boar. The absence of hind legs in the pigs is an intriguing aspect of the artwork, which could be a result of Brandes' artistic interpretation or an accurate representation of a physical condition observed in the animals. The drawing's inscription, written in Dutch, suggests that it may have been a personal sketch or study, rather than a commissioned work. The "Pigs without Hind Legs" drawing is a unique and intriguing example of 18th-century European art, showcasing the artist's skill and curiosity in capturing the natural world, even in its most unusual forms.
