"The Horse Fair" is a renowned oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Rosa Bonheur, completed in 1855. Measuring 244.5 cm × 506.7 cm, it is considered one of Bonheur's most famous works and a masterpiece of 19th-century animal painting. The painting depicts the horse market held in Paris on the Boulevard de l'Hôpital, near the asylum of Salpêtrière, which Bonheur attended twice weekly from 1850 to 1851 to prepare for the work. To blend in and reduce attention in the male-dominated environment, Bonheur obtained a police permit to wear men's clothing.

"The Horse Fair" showcases Bonheur's exceptional attention to detail and her profound understanding of equine anatomy. The composition captures the dynamic movement of the horses, with various breeds and temperaments represented, reflecting the chaos and energy of the market. The painting was first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1853 and received widespread acclaim, enhancing Bonheur's international reputation.

The work's significance extends beyond its artistic merit; it is also celebrated for challenging gender norms of the time. As a woman artist achieving prominence in a male-dominated field, Bonheur's success with "The Horse Fair" was both a personal and a professional triumph. The painting is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, serving as a key example of both Bonheur's skill and the broader context of women's roles in the art world during the 19th century.
