Boeufs du Cantal 

"Boeufs du Cantal" is a drawing by the renowned French artist Rosa Bonheur, known for her detailed and lifelike depictions of animals. This piece, likely a study for a larger work, showcases Bonheur's mastery of animal anatomy and her ability to capture the essence of her subjects. The two oxen, rendered in graphite, stand close together, their massive bodies and powerful horns suggesting strength and resilience. Bonheur's attention to detail is evident in the texturing of their fur and the subtle rendering of their musculature. This drawing is a testament to Bonheur's commitment to realism and her profound respect for the natural world.
