Sculpture for the 1250th birthday of Schwetzingen. Built in 2016 by Peter Lenk. It shows the Elector Carl-Theodor riding behind his muse sitting on a mother sow. Typically Lenk - an eye-catcher that conjures passersby a smile in the face.

Imagine Elector Carl Theodor riding on a giant pig, and the whole thing looks like a scene from a crazy fairy tale book. Peter Lenk, the artist, really showed a sense of humor - people often stop and laugh when they see it.

If the world had more "lucky pig" monarchs and artists with a sense of humor, it wouldn't do any harm!
