A delightful early 19th-century naïve oil on board painting of a large black and pink pig in a rural landscape, attributed to S. Miller and inscribed Meadowbrook, PA, 1810. Painted in a charmingly primitive style, the scene shows the animal set against rolling green fields with a farmhouse and barns in the distance. The flat perspective, simplified forms, and soft tones typify early American folk art, capturing the character of rural life with honesty and warmth. A rare and evocative piece of early Americana.
