Eakins began this portrait shortly after his marriage in January 1884 to his former student, Susan Hannah Macdowell (1851–1938), a talented painter and photographer. The setting is his studio at 1330 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, where the couple—and their dog, Harry—lived from 1884 to 1886. A photogravure of the painting from 1886 reveals a more robust woman, suggesting that Eakins reworked the portrait, amplifying the effect of the skylight’s illumination. The alterations may have reflected Eakins’s anguish over his controversial dismissal from the school of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, partly for removing the loincloth from a male model in a co-ed class.

Available materials

In the dropdown lists next to the product you can select the size and material of your choice. Pick your favorite size and material among the following options:

• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating on top): An acrylic glass print, often described as a fine art print on plexiglass, will convert the original into beautiful décor and is a good alternative option to canvas or aluminium dibond fine art prints. Your own version of the artwork will be printed with state-of-the-art UV direct print technology. This creates impressive, rich color shades. With an acrylic glass art print contrasts plus smaller image details will be more visible due to the precise gradation. Our plexiglass with real glass coating protects your chosen fine art print against light and external influences for between four and six decades.
• Metal (aluminium dibond print): Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with a true depth. The non-reflective surface structure make a modern impression. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is the perfect introduction to prints with aluminum. Colors are luminous in the highest definition, the details of the print are crisp and clear, and you can notice the matte appearance of the product. This direct print on aluminium is the most popular entry-level product and is a sophisticated way to showcase artworks, since it draws attention on the replica of the artwork.
• Poster (canvas material): A poster print is a UV printed flat cotton canvas with a nice texture on the surface. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm round about the print motif, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• The canvas print: The UV printed canvas material stretched on a wood stretcher frame. A canvas print has the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suitable for any type of wall.
