Cutting a Pig

The scene is set indoors with a pig carcass suspended on the left and a butcher at work while a small crowd of villagers, including children, gathers around a barrel on the right. Light from a window on the left casts warm highlights on the meat and figures, creating deep shadows in the surrounding interior. The palette is composed of warm browns, ochres, and reds, and the loose brushwork and subdued lighting reflect a Dutch genre style focused on everyday labor and communal observation.
