A slaughtered pig takes center stage in this etching by Rembrandt van Rijn, made in Amsterdam in the first half of the seventeenth century. The animal's heavy bulk fills the foreground while two adults and a child gather loosely behind it near a wooden doorframe. Held at the Petit Palais in Paris, this print, catalogued as Bartsch 157, shows Rembrandt bringing the same careful attention to a butchered hog that he gave to biblical subjects and portraits, proof that he found genuine weight in the unglamorous details of everyday Dutch life.
