La feria de caballos

1852–55
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 812
El mercado de caballos de París tenía lugar en el Boulevard de l’Hôpital, cerca del asilo de la Salpêtrière, visible al fondo a la izquierda. Durante un año y medio, Bonheur acudió al mercado dos veces por semana a tomar apuntes, vestida de hombre para pasar inadvertida. Empezó el cuadro en 1852 y lo expuso en el Salón de París de 1853, retocándolo más tarde. Desde su llegada al Metropolitan en 1887, este lienzo impresionante y lleno de vida ha sido una de las obras más populares y queridas por el público.
