Quoted By:
>Pornocrates, Pornokratès, La dame au cochon, or The Lady with the Pig is an 1878 painting by the Belgian artist Félicien Rops.
>She was the human animal, a creature blindly guided by a hog, the symbol of Circe, the bestial representative of all sexual evil.
>Above the pig with golden tail, three winged putti fly away in what appears to be shock or horror. Rops refers to them as "Three loves – ancient loves – vanish in tears".
>The woman and pig are walking on top of a marble stage, with a frieze depicting four allegories of the arts: sculpture, music, literature and painting.
>The fine arts are depicted as grey, classical male figures, looking desperate.
