"John Biglin in a Single Scull" is a renowned artwork by American realist painter Thomas Cowperthwait Eakins, painted in 1873 during the initial phase of Eakins' career. The painting features the prominent rower John Biglin, a well-recognized figure in competitive rowing during the 1870s, as he intently navigates his scull on the tranquil waters of the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, a popular venue for rowing races in that era.

The oil painting, measuring 12 5/8 x 26 3/4 inches, is renowned for its meticulous detail, vivid realism, and Eakins's masterful depiction of light and reflection on the water, signifying his interest and adeptness in capturing the specificities of human motion, especially in sports activities.

In "John Biglin in a Single Scull", Eakins demonstrates his artistic strength in portraying outdoor scenes, showcasing Biglin's physicality and focus in response to the challenge of controlling the scull. The painting is intimate and personal, while also providing a striking social document of America's increasing interest in athletic leisure activities during the post-Civil War era. This piece is considered as one of Eakins's breakthrough works, introducing a new level of sophistication in American genre painting and pioneering the incorporation of sport as an artistic theme.

As of today, the painting is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. It serves as an exceptional representation of Eakins' commitment to realism and storytelling by depicting everyday people in routine scenarios, thus marking a significant point in the art history of the United States.
