Rosa Bonheur (1822-99), a bronze figure of a bull, the beast walking across a rectangular base rounded at the narrow ends, signed, 27cm (10.75 in) wide Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899) was a French animalière and sculptor. Her best known paintings, Ploughing in the Nivernais and the Horse Fair, hang in the Musée d'Orsay and the Metropolitan Museum, New York, respectively. Bonheur had failed her apprenticeship as a seamstress so her father, himself an artist, agreed to take her on as his apprentice. The realism she achieved in her art was borne from many years study of animals, including studying the anatomy of animals in the abattoirs of Paris and carrying out dissections at the Paris veterinary school. Her work was well known in England through the dealer Ernest Gambart and much admired by Queen Victoria. Bonheur was a member of the New Woman movement; a feminist movement of the late 19th century and was famous for wearing men's trousers, having at one point been given a permit by the police to wear them whilst working in the slaughterhouses. Bonheur loved depicting bulls and made several sculptures, the largest of which in Fontainebleau was melted down by the Nazi's in 1941. In 1857, Edouard Louis Dubufe, painted her portrait with a bull, symbolic of her work as an animalière.
