About the piece
Painted around 1800 by the renowned British animal painter James Ward, this work captures the immense scale and character of a Gloucestershire Old Spot pig. Set against a soft-lit farmyard with figures and a distant cottage, the painting showcases Ward's mastery in depicting texture and naturalistic animal forms, reflecting the period's fascination with agricultural breeding and livestock portraiture.
