A large plaster study of a German Shorthaired Pointer by Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899). Rosa Bonheur was a renowned sculptor and painter in the 19th century, specialising in animal subjects. Bonheur was widely considered to be the most famous female painter of the nineteenth century. Her animal statues are remarkable for their realist style.
