Thomas Eakins
Today we will take a deeper look at the career of Thomas Eakins. While there will be several of his famous nude photos, we'll also view some works that were influenced by him. We start with a typical panel set of nudes of an unknown student.
Since you last posted Mr. Eakins, I've found that, through marriages, he's my 4th cousin, 4 times removed. Links: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Eakins-297 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/310/thomas-eakins https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/MT3R-9SL

Utterly sublime images. A young man, trying out a few poses. And at the same time achieving immortality.
