She kept lions as pets, was awarded the Legion of Honor by Empress Eugénie, and befriended Buffalo Bill Cody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe became a painter at a time when women were often only reluctantly educated as artists. Her unconventional artistic work habits, including visiting slaughterhouses to sketch an animal's anatomy and wearing men's clothing to gain access to places like a horse fair, where women were not allowed, helped her become one of the most beloved female painters of her time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the artworks discussed are \u003cem\u003eThe Horse Fair\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePloughing in the Nivernais\u003c\/em\u003e.
