About the piece

Painted around 1870 by the celebrated French animalier Rosa Bonheur, this oil on panel captures a group of wild boars in a winter forest. The work showcases Bonheur's renowned ability to render animals with both scientific precision and emotional presence, set against an atmospheric, sepia-toned woodland that emphasizes the stillness of the season.
