About
Weaning the Calves by Rosa Bonheur is a beautiful depiction of a cow and her five calves who have been separated by a haphazard fence. The mother is forced to wean her babies due to this man-made barrier. We see Bonheur explore the relationship between the natural and the man-made world in this painting. The depiction of the anatomy of these animals is almost scientific. The scene is thought to have occurred on the high pasturelands the Pyrenees, where a lot of Rosa Bonheur’s nature paintings are meant to have been inspired from. The artist took a trip there in 1850. The artwork is housed in the MET.

We Offer High Quality
Custom Framing
We use the highest quality wood in our modern shop to create custom frames, frame your print with precision-cut acid-free matt board, and mount it behind a UV-blocking semi-gloss plexiglass to protect your art from the sun, dust, pollution, heat, and humidity. Then we add finishing touches like wall hanging mount, wall friendly bumpers and a protective backing.
