Whimsical evolution drawing in one line from little piggy-bank to fat plump comical human-capitalist in five whimsical fantasy creatures iterations; Surrealistic colored engraving by Peter Klúcik, Slovak and Czech's surrealistic graphic ex-libris art
A satirical allegorical drawing in the style of 19th-century political cartoons illustrates the evolution of capitalism and greed from left to right. The background is a pale blue sky filled with tiny pointillistic dots and whimsical floating clouds, above which three cloud-castles hover, while below them, a row of five increasingly anthropomorphized figures march across a narrow bridge with ornate arches.
The evolution begins on the far left with a simple, small pink piggy bank walking on stubby legs, with a coin floating vertically just above its coin slot. A small thought bubble rises from it, depicting a tiny golden crown and a miniature castle nestled within a cloud.
Next to it, a larger pink piggy bank walks with a more determined stride, its slot connected to another cloud castle floating directly above.
Moving right, the third figure is a standing, bipedal pig dressed in a vest, top hat, and holding a small cane, complete with feathered wings sprouting from its back. Above this winged pig, a larger cloud castle floats in the sky, alongside small flying birds or insects.
The fourth figure transforms into a round, corpulent, wealthy human gentleman wearing a top hat, waistcoat, pinstrip
