Original artwork description:
Tiredness is followed by relaxation and hilarity. This work, created in ink on cardboard, portrays a young busboy who finds his rest with nice irreverence leaning himself on the bronze of the famous wild boar, for the Florentines the "Porcellino" (made in 1633 by Pietro Tacca), a symbol of charity in favor of the "Madonnina del Grappa". The boy instead of "polishing" the nose of the boar, considered a good luck gesture, comically scoff at luck by placing his hat on the head of the "astonished" Piglet.
