Solitary reclining nude


This is the only photo in the group labeled as Circle of Eakins featuring a solo model.  When this was made in 1885, one could find similar paintings of females hanging behind the bar in saloons.

  1. Sublime. His lanky, very lean musculature emphasising the hip placement in this carefully thought out, seemingly unsupported reclining pose. Quite beautifully done.

    1. Now this guy is more typical of Eakins' students build-wise. Or does the pose just make him look skinnier?
