Rosa Bonheur, Artist
Carte-de-visite portrait, reproduced from a painting by Louis-Edouard Debufe, depicting French Artist Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899). This painting depicts the artist with a cow, symbolic of her work as a painter of animals. The feminine attire in this portrait is misleading, however, as she was known for wearing men's clothing. Handwritten inscription at bottom reads, "Rosa Bonheur, Artist." |
