"Vaches sous l'arbre" (Cows under the Tree) is an oil painting by the renowned French artist Rosa Bonheur, created in 1858. As one of the most famous female painters of the 19th century, Bonheur was known for her realistic depictions of animals, and this work is a prime example of her mastery in capturing the essence of pastoral life. The painting showcases a group of cows resting in the shade of a tree, a subject that reflects Bonheur's deep appreciation for the natural world and her commitment to the accurate portrayal of livestock and wildlife.

Born into a family of artists, Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899) received training from her father, Raymond Bonheur, which set the foundation for her career. Her work was widely celebrated during her lifetime, and she achieved significant commercial success, a rare feat for a woman artist of her time. "Vaches sous l'arbre" is characteristic of Bonheur's attention to detail and her skill in rendering the texture of fur and foliage, as well as her ability to convey the tranquil atmosphere of rural settings.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of Bonheur's defiance of gender norms. She obtained a police permit to wear men's clothing, which was unconventional for women of her era, to study animals more freely in settings like farms and slaughterhouses, which were typically male-dominated spaces. Bonheur's dedication to her craft and her success in a male-dominated art world made her an icon of the early feminist movement.

"Vaches sous l'arbre" exemplifies Bonheur's contribution to the Realist movement, which emerged in France in the mid-19th century. Realist artists sought to portray subjects from everyday life with honesty and without idealization, a principle clearly evident in Bonheur's work. The painting is held in high esteem for its historical and cultural significance, as well as its aesthetic qualities, and it continues to be studied and admired for its portrayal of the harmonious relationship between animals and their natural environment.
