Trotting A Horse
1856
Rosa Bonheur was the ultimate horse whisperer of the 19th century, and this lively scene proves why! Watch as a handler struggles to contain a powerful, dark horse mid-trot, its muscles rippling with energy while a neat row of white and brown horses with bright red harnesses waits calmly in the background. Bonheur was famous for sneaking into horse markets and even wearing men's pants (with special permission from the police!) just to study these magnificent creatures up close without causing a scene.
