"A Study of a Sheep" is a notable artwork by the renowned 19th-century French artist Rosa Bonheur, who is widely recognized for her realistic portrayal of animals. Born on March 16, 1822, in Bordeaux, Bonheur was a pioneering female artist in a male-dominated field, and she became famous for her commitment to depicting animals with accuracy and empathy. Her work often reflects a deep understanding of animal anatomy and behavior, which she gained through extensive study and observation.

While "A Study of a Sheep" specifically refers to a work that showcases Bonheur's skill in capturing the essence of her subject, the painting is representative of her broader body of work, which includes other well-known pieces such as "The Horse Fair" (1853) and "Ploughing in the Nivernais" (1849). Bonheur's dedication to her craft led her to seek permission to wear men's clothing, which was unconventional for women at the time, in order to visit stockyards and slaughterhouses for her studies without attracting undue attention.

In "A Study of a Sheep," Bonheur's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the sheep's wool, the animal's posture, and the expression in its eyes, all of which contribute to the lifelike quality of the painting. The work is a testament to Bonheur's mastery of animal portraiture and her ability to convey the dignity and individuality of her animal subjects.

As an artist who challenged gender norms and excelled in a genre traditionally dominated by men, Rosa Bonheur's legacy extends beyond her artistic achievements to her role as a trailblazer for women in the arts. "A Study of a Sheep" is not only a fine example of her artistic talent but also a piece that reflects the broader impact of her career on the art world and society.

The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and critics and continues to be studied for its technical proficiency and its place within the context of Bonheur's life and the broader art movement of the time. It remains an important work within the canon of animal painting and the history of women artists in the 19th century.
