The Horse Fair by Rosa Bonheur

The Horse Fair (1853)

Rosa Bonheur | Realism | Oil on canvas

Powerful horses rear and prance at a busy market in Paris! Handlers struggle to control the magnificent animals while dust swirls around them. The energy and movement is incredible!

Did you know? Rosa Bonheur was one of the most famous women artists of her time. To get ready for this painting, she sketched at the Paris horse market twice a week for more than a year, and she got special permission from the police to dress like a man so nobody would bother her while she worked!
