This is a drawing of a pig being led by a human-like figure on top of a large cleaver. The figure is wearing a colonial-style outfit with a tricorn hat and holding a stick to guide the pig. The cleaver's handle is rectangular and wrapped in a reddish material. The background is plain. The style is simplified and cartoonish.
