More about this artwork

Experience the rustic charm and serene beauty of Rosa Bonheur’s masterpiece, "Three Wooly Sheep." This captivating 19th-century oil painting features a trio of sheep, rendered with exquisite detail and a palpable sense of warmth. Set against a backdrop that suggests a dusky, clouded sky, Bonheur expertly uses light and texture to bring these creatures to life with an astonishing realism.The sheep, each displaying a thick, shaggy fleece, are positioned close together, suggesting a familial or social bond. Their dark, expressive faces contrast with the lighter tones of their wool, drawing attention to their gentle eyes and calm demeanor. The focus on the sheep in their natural setting exemplifies Bonheur's renowned ability to capture the essence of animals in her art."Three Wooly Sheep" is not just a portrayal of livestock; it is a testament to Bonheur's skill in capturing the spirit of nature and her profound empathy for her subjects. This painting is a perfect example of why Bonheur is celebrated as one of the foremost animalière, or animal painters, of her time.

Rosa Bonheur, born Marie-Rosalie Bonheur, was a French artist, mostly a painter of animals (animalière) but also a sculptor, in a realist style. Her paintings include Ploughing in the Nivernais, first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1848, and now at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, and The Horse Fair (in French: Le marché aux chevaux), which was exhibited at the Salon of 1853 (finished in 1855) and is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City. Bonheur was widely considered to be the most famous female painter of the nineteenth century.
