The Whitman Gallery


1891. Thomas Eakins, Philadelphia. Saunders #122. Courtesy Hirshhorn Musuem and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution. Taken in Whitman's Camden home. Scholars of Eakins's work disagree about the nature of the difference between this and the following two photos--whether they are different, retouched and cropped versions of each other, varying prints, etc. Saunders catalogued them separately, and they seem to be distinct if very similar poses.
