Rosa Bonheur, a prominent French painter known for her animal subjects, created “Head of a Calf” in 1878. This detailed oil painting depicts a close-up view of a calf’s head, showcasing the artist’s meticulous attention to detail in capturing the animal’s soft fur and expressive eyes. Bonheur, a champion of animal rights, often used her art to promote the beauty and dignity of animals, and this painting embodies that commitment.
