EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing 18th century pencil drawing by Jan Brandes, titled "Pigs without hind legs at a trough," presents an unusual and captivating scene. The image depicts two Eurasian wild pigs, also known as boars or hogs, feeding from a trough with an inscription that reads "Colombo, Sri Lanka, South Asia." However, what sets this artwork apart is the apparent absence of hind legs in the pigs. Jan Brandes, a Dutch artist from the Low Countries, meticulously captured the pigs' gray and grey-brown coloration and the textured appearance of their wrinkled skin. The pigs' heads are turned towards each other, their snouts almost touching the trough, as they focus intently on their meal. The trough, with its worn edges and water stains, adds to the rustic and authentic atmosphere of the scene. The drawing is part of Brandes' sketchbook, dl. 2, page 75, and was created in 1785. It is now preserved at the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Europe. The use of pencil and watercolor paint adds depth and texture to the drawing, making it a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of Asian and European art. Despite the pigs' unusual appearance, the drawing remains a fascinating example of the artist's skill and attention to detail. It invites us to ponder the mysteries of the natural world and the artist's creative vision. Whether it was inspired by a real observation or a whimsical imagination, this sketch continues to intrigue and delight viewers today.
