Richard,

Sorry I'm not a specialist in the painting area but I just wanted to say
that the painting is very beautiful! I love how the light comes through
the tree. What is the man on the left
doing? Its a bit fuzzy.

Good Luck,
Kathleen

Correct, he is feeding the pig - it is a beautiful picture, but I'd love to
know more about it and the artist. If I can find out who painted it, I can
hopefully trace more of his work.

Maybe I've been hanging out in rec.antiques too long. When I first saw
the post that read, simply, "He's slopping the hogs", I assumed it was
some new sort of flame directed at the previous poster.

I agree with Kathleen about the loveliness of the painting :)

I'm going to go out on a limb, and say the unknown artist was most
likely an English genre painter during the late 18th or 19th century.
The style seems to derive from Dutch genre scenes, first seen in English
art in the 18th century - they are generally very sweet, not an
intellectual strain to understand, and I have a secret weakness for them
:)
