Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Three pigs are pictured in the mud, the middle pig in the foreground lies on its side while two others behind it stand passively. In the background a man with a hat leans against a fence with his stick by his side. The image is occasioned by Sancho Panza saying ""when I was a boy, I kept swine. Later, when I grew towards man, I looked after geese, and not after hogs" (Page 448).
