Studying the masters- New York


I happened to be in New York and couldn't miss visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

While there I got to see one of my favorite artist's work: The Horse Fair (1853) by Rosa Bonheur.  It was very rare for women to be successful as artists at that time, but her persistence and talent were more powerful that the critics!  She ended up being a French celebrity and a guest to the Queen of England.
