"Study for The Horse Fair" is a preparatory work by the renowned 19th-century French artist Rosa Bonheur, created as part of the process leading to her masterpiece "The Horse Fair" (1852-1855). Bonheur, known for her realistic animal paintings, was one of the most famous female painters of her time, achieving both critical and commercial success in a male-dominated art world. The study exemplifies her meticulous approach to art, showcasing her dedication to capturing the dynamism and anatomy of horses.

The "Study for The Horse Fair" reflects Bonheur's extensive research and observation, as she spent many hours at the horse markets of Paris, particularly the one held on the Boulevard de l'Hôpital. She would often dress in men's clothing to avoid drawing attention to herself and to better blend into the predominantly male environment. This allowed her to study the animals and their handlers closely, which is evident in the detailed and vigorous sketches that make up the study.

While the main painting, "The Horse Fair," measures an impressive 8 feet by 16 feet and is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the study itself is a smaller work, yet it is no less significant in understanding Bonheur's artistic process. The study captures the movement and power of the horses, serving as a testament to Bonheur's skill in portraying animals and her commitment to naturalism.

Rosa Bonheur's "Study for The Horse Fair" is an important piece that not only provides insight into the creation of one of her most famous paintings but also stands as a testament to her skill and dedication as an artist. It remains an influential work in the study of animalier, a genre of painting that focuses on the realistic portrayal of animals.
