Not on view

Mrs. Shevi leans over the windowsill down to kiss a sucking pig, which her husband holds out to her as he puts his arm around her. A sow at lower right looks up at the pig. A bill is posted on a wall at right, which reads: "Lost supposed to have been Stolen a Sow and Seven Pigs Whoever gives Information Five Pound Reward."
