This is a painting of a pig standing on a patch of ground. The pig is detailed with precise lines and shading. It is depicted on a small patch of ground within an oval frame. Above the pig are branches with green leaves and acorns. Latin text is present on the painting, including "QVID CVM AMARACINO SVÍ?" and “SVS LOTA AD VOLVTABRVM COENI”. A Roman numeral “XVIII.” is on the right side. The painting focuses on anatomical details and naturalistic textures, reminiscent of botanical or zoological illustrations from the 16th or 17th century.
