"Labourage nivernais," also known as "The First Plowing," is a renowned oil painting by the French artist Rosa Bonheur, completed in 1849. This masterpiece is celebrated for its realistic portrayal of rural life and is a prime example of Bonheur's dedication to the animalier or animal painting genre. The painting depicts a team of oxen plowing the Nivernais region in France, which was known for its agricultural fertility. Bonheur's meticulous attention to detail and her profound understanding of animal anatomy are evident in the powerful depiction of the oxen and the plowmen guiding them.

Measuring 133 by 260 cm, "Labourage nivernais" was commissioned by the government of the Second Republic and was first exhibited at the Salon of 1849, where it received critical acclaim. The work reflects Bonheur's commitment to capturing the essence of pastoral life and her ability to imbue her subjects with a sense of dignity and nobility. It is a testament to her skill as a painter and her progressive approach to art, as she was one of the few successful female artists of her time, gaining recognition in a male-dominated profession.

Today, "Labourage nivernais" is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to draw the admiration of art enthusiasts and scholars. The painting stands as an important cultural artifact, offering insight into the 19th-century French countryside and the era's artistic movements, as well as the enduring legacy of Rosa Bonheur as a pioneering woman in the arts.
