Painting of Prince Harry is sold for £2,350 despite being created by a PIG in just a few minutes

A PAINTING of Prince Harry has sold for more than £2,000 – and you won't believe who the artist is.

The artwork, which was created by a talented painting PIG called Pigcasso in just a few minutes, was snapped up for £2,350 by a Spanish buyer.


The masterpiece is only one of the hundreds painted by the four-year-old porcine prodigy – who was saved from the slaughterhouse as a baby by owner, Joanne Lefson.

The pair now live at Farm Sanctuary SA in the Franschhoek Valley of South Africa.

Ms Lefson ensures all money made from Pigcasso's paintings – almost £50,000 to date – cares for the farm animals who reside there.

She said: "That painting was totally Prince Harry and was brought for a good price from a Spanish collector who is a big Pigcasso fan.

"Pigcasso isn’t that different to other pigs, she is smart, curious and intelligent.

"The only significant difference is she has a ton of talent when she paints."
