DescriptionA girl and a boy are pulling on a rope attached to the hind leg of a young pig. The rope is wrapped around a wooden post, apparently part of a pier or rail fence. The pig is up to its belly in water, apparently a lake or pond. The boy wears long pants, a shirt, vest, jacket, and cap. The girl wears a skirt and blouse with a striped apron and a scarf tied around her head. She holds a wooden stake or knife in her right hand, which is raised over her head. Grass or reeds are at the left. Hills or mountains are in the background.
