One of the 250 famous paintings examined in Masterpiece Cards - and one whose meaning is more clear after knowing its historical and social context.  The (now) famous painter, Rosa Bonheur, had to disguise herself as a man to gain admission into the horse market where she sketched this subject! Read more about this and other famous paintings by Rosa Bonher..

Horse Fair, Rosa Bonheur.  Oil on canvas, 1853 - 1855. 8' x 17' (approx.).  Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. 

 

It was recently discovered that she painted her self portrait into this imposing masterpiece.  I think she must have been laughing the entire time!
