Mr Amos Brown, Pig Keeper


Bearded, hatted Mr Brown feeds pigs and piglets in a country lane. There’s a bucket on his arm, but his charges are only fed from this once they’ve been thrown chunks of bread from the loaf in his hand. There are more animals up the lane, and another man – but Amos Brown is the focus here, lovingly portrayed giving care, not merely dispensing fodder, to his healthy, happy-looking herd.
