I had forgotten what a wonderful display of works by Thomas Eakins the Philadelphia Museum has, bequeathed by his widow, Susan McDowell Eakins in 1929, and Mary Adeline Williams in 1930.
The Pair-Oared Shell (1872):-
Mending the Net (1881):-
This is what he looked like, in the portrait by his wife:-
Not to forget The Agnew Clinic (1889):-
The Eakins are among the finest works in a spectacular collection.
