Über das Werk
Rembrandt possibly saw this sow at the Amsterdam pig market. He made a detailed study of the creature and later set it in a narrative context. With rapid lines, he added a butcher preparing for the slaughter, and an excited boy playing with a pig’s bladder. In this, Rembrandt got ahead of himself, for the sow still has her bladder.

Death of Saskia
Saskia died in 1642, probably of tuberculosis, a year after Titus's birth. Rembrandt's drawings of her on her sickbed are among his most deeply felt works.
