The Horse Fair  is Rosa Bonheur’s best-known painting and her self-described "Parthenon frieze." Gifted in 1887 by Cornelius Vanderbilt to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (87.25), it depicts the horse market held in Paris on the tree-lined Boulevard de l’Hôpital, near the asylum of Salpêtrière, which is visible in the left background. Bonheur was well established as an animal painter when the painting debuted at the Paris Salon of 1853, where it received wide praise.
