領頭的雄鹿
1864
Rosa Bonheur, the 19th-century queen of animal painting, captures a majestic herd of deer crossing a rugged landscape in this striking 1864 study. Notice how the lead stag stands tall and alert while the others follow in a rhythmic line, with one pausing to drink from a shimmering pool. Created on brown paper, she uses bold white highlights to make the water pop against the earthy tones, showcasing her incredible eye for animal anatomy and movement. Bonheur was famous for getting official permission to wear men's clothing just so she could visit slaughterhouses and horse fairs to study her subjects up close!
