About the piece
Commissioned in 1898 by her companion Anna Klumpke, this portrait captures the renowned artist Rosa Bonheur in her creative element. Bonheur is depicted with warm, scholarly dignity, holding a sketch while seated near an easel that displays her characteristic animal subjects. The work is a masterclass in tonal control, using soft, atmospheric lighting to create a sense of wisdom and artistic legacy.
