"Swineherd" is a notable wood engraving by the English artist Eric Gill (1882–1940), created in 1929. Gill was a sculptor, typeface designer, stonecutter, and printmaker, who remains well-known for his contributions to graphic arts and his association with the Arts and Crafts movement. "Swineherd" exemplifies Gill's skill in wood engraving, a medium he used to explore religious themes, social commentary, and eroticism throughout his career.

The artwork "Swineherd" depicts a pastoral scene in which a swineherd, or pig keeper, is seen tending to his pigs. This subject is reflective of Gill's interest in the natural world and the simplicity of rural life, themes that are recurrent in his body of work. The composition is characterized by the artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey texture and form through the intricate lines and contrasts inherent to the wood engraving technique.

As a prominent figure in the history of British art, Eric Gill's works, including "Swineherd," are significant for their craftsmanship and the way they reflect the artist's personal beliefs and the social context of the time. "Swineherd" is part of Gill's larger oeuvre, which has been the subject of both admiration for its aesthetic qualities and controversy due to the artist's complex personal life and moral views.

Gill's wood engravings, such as "Swineherd," are held in high regard and can be found in various public and private collections. They continue to be studied and exhibited, offering insight into the creative process of one of the early 20th century's most distinctive British artists.
