"Highland Raid" (1860) by Rosa Bonheur depicts a herd of cattle being driven across a rugged Scottish landscape. Bonheur, a celebrated animal painter, is known for her meticulous depictions of animals and their natural environments. This painting, characteristic of her style, captures the movement and energy of the cattle, as well as the harsh beauty of the Scottish highlands. The work is currently housed at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC, US.
