''Pornokratès, or La Femme au cochon'' is a renowned artwork by the Belgian artist Félicien Rops, created in 1878. This provocative piece, also known as ''Lady with the Pig'', is a lithograph that has garnered attention for its bold and controversial depiction of a woman leading a pig, an image rich with symbolic meaning. The title ''Pornokratès'' itself is derived from the Greek words "porno-", meaning "prostitute", and "-kratès", meaning "ruler" or "power", thus suggesting the theme of female dominance or the rule of sensuality and vice.

The artwork features a blindfolded woman, dressed in an elegant, flowing gown with one breast exposed, walking a pig on a golden leash. The pig, often a symbol of lust and gluttony, is adorned with a winged caduceus, which traditionally represents commerce and negotiation, adding a layer of complexity to the interpretation of the image. The woman's blindfold has been interpreted as a metaphor for being blind to virtue or reason, while her confident pose and attire suggest a sense of empowerment and liberation from societal norms.

Rops was known for his erotic and satirical works, and ''Pornokratès'' is considered one of his masterpieces, encapsulating his fascination with the themes of female dominance, sexuality, and the decadence of modern society. The piece is emblematic of the Decadent movement, which embraced excess and aestheticism in reaction to the perceived decay of society during the late 19th century.

''Pornokratès'' has been the subject of much scholarly analysis and is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its challenging commentary on the social mores of the time. The work is preserved in the Musée Félicien Rops in Namur, Belgium, dedicated to the artist's life and oeuvre, and continues to inspire and provoke discussion among art critics, historians, and enthusiasts.
