EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait "Kathrin, 1872" by Thomas Cowperthwait Eakins is a stunning example of realism in American art. Painted with oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures an impressive 165.1x133.4 cm and is housed at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT. The subject of the painting, Kathrin Crowell, was not only Eakins' muse but also his beloved fiancée for five years until her untimely death from meningitis at the age of twenty-eight. This poignant backstory adds depth and emotion to the already mesmerizing image. In the painting, Kathrin is depicted seated in a wooden chair against a dark background that creates a striking contrast with her fair complexion and vibrant attire. The play of light and shadow beautifully highlights her features while adding an air of mystery to the composition. A fan delicately held in her hand adds a touch of elegance to Kathrin's pose as she gazes directly at the viewer with confidence and grace. A small kitten resting near her feet symbolizes innocence and domesticity. Eakins' attention to detail is evident throughout this remarkable piece; every brushstroke captures Kathrin's essence flawlessly. With its masterful execution and profound narrative, "Kathrin, 1872" remains an iconic representation of American portraiture from that era.
