Horses near the Seaside 

Rosa Bonheur, known for her animal paintings, captures the serene beauty of a coastal landscape in "Horses near the Seaside." The painting, which likely dates from the late 19th century, features two horses grazing in a field, with a distant view of a small village and the sea beyond. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the horses' musculature and the textures of the foliage, while the soft light and subtle colors contribute to the painting's tranquil atmosphere. Bonheur's work, often characterized by its realism and sensitivity, offers a glimpse into the natural world and the bond between humans and animals.
