Rosa Bonheur, the French painter known for her animal subjects, is the sitter in this engraving, which Johnson, Fry & Co. issued after a painting by Dubufe. Bonheur built her reputation on carefully observed horses, cattle, and sheep, and she became one of the most celebrated women artists of the nineteenth century. Her habit of wearing trousers in public, which required a police permit in Paris, drew public curiosity as much as admiration. The record rests on an old caption card and has not been fully verified, but the print probably appeared in Evart Duyckinck's 1873 *Portrait Gallery of Eminent Men and Women of Europe and America*.
