About the painting
A still life with a pig's carcase, opened with entrails removed, lays on a table beside a wicker basket and knife. In the middleground a swineherder with his mob and in the landscape beyond two figures seen from behind walking into the distance while a storm brews overhead. Jan Baptist [Giovanni Battista] Weenix (1621-1660/1) was a painter, draughtsman and etcher said to have studied in Utrecht and Amsterdam. Weenix’s earliest works are primarily landscapes. In 1642, he set out for Italy and stayed in Rome for four years. By 1647 Weenix had adopted what became his standard signature: Gio[vanni] Batt[ist]a Weenix. He became known for his Italian harbour views combining fanciful or real Classical ruins, with picturesque figures painted in warm colours with a refined brushwork.

Although Weenix did paint a few still-lifes such as the Dead Partridge of 1650-52 (Mauritshuis, The Hague) they are relatively rare and S.EX.190-1886 reveals his skill in combinding landscape painting with still life and in depicting various textures such as the sharp steel of the knife and the glistening innards of the carcase which contrast with the soft brushwork of the trees in the distance.
