Wild Sow and Her Young Attacked by Dogs

Jean-Baptiste Oudry

Cleveland Museum of Art

Brown and white drawing on brown paper. A group of dogs are attacking a wild sow and her young. The sow is positioned center and faces right, with head lowered and snout pointed toward a small piglet. She is surrounded by large and small dogs. A large dog on the left faces right with mouth open and teeth bared. Its front right paw is on top of a rock. A large tree trunk with branches and foliage fills the right side. There are various rocks and foliage throughout the scene. The background is filled with more trees and foliage. The scene takes up most of the image with a thin white border around the edges.
