"Between Rounds" is an oil on canvas painting by Thomas Cowperthwait Eakins, an influential American realist painter, photographer, sculptor, and fine arts educator. Created in 1899, the painting is part of a series that Eakins produced focusing on the sport of boxing, which was a relatively new professional sport at the time and a subject that fascinated the artist for its raw depiction of the human form and the drama of athletic competition.

The painting measures 127.6 cm by 97.2 cm and is housed in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. "Between Rounds" portrays a scene from a boxing match, capturing the momentary pause as one of the fighters rests in his corner. The central figure is likely based on the boxer Billy Smith, whom Eakins admired and studied for his boxing series. The composition is notable for its realistic depiction of the physicality of the boxers, the atmosphere of the boxing venue, and the varied expressions of the spectators, which include Eakins himself, as he often inserted his likeness into his works.

Eakins' interest in the human form and his dedication to portraying the truth of the human experience are evident in "Between Rounds." His use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to anatomical accuracy, reflect his academic training and his commitment to teaching these principles. The painting is considered an important work in Eakins' oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in narrative storytelling through art and his ability to capture the essence of American life at the turn of the 20th century.

"Between Rounds" has been analyzed for its cultural significance, as it captures a moment in sports history when boxing was transitioning from bare-knuckle bouts to the Marquess of Queensberry rules, which mandated gloves and three-minute rounds with one-minute intervals. Eakins' work is a testament to his interest in modern subjects and his pioneering spirit in choosing themes that were unconventional for his time. As with many of Eakins' works, "Between Rounds" is celebrated for its unflinching realism and its contribution to the narrative of American realism in art.
