"Portrait of Dr. William Thompson" is an oil painting by the renowned American realist painter Thomas Cowperthwait Eakins (1844–1916). Completed in 1899, this work is a testament to Eakins's skill in portraiture and his interest in depicting individuals from the medical and scientific community. The portrait features Dr. William Thompson, a respected ophthalmologist and a professor with whom Eakins was acquainted. Dr. Thompson is portrayed with an air of dignified professionalism, reflective of his status in the medical field.

Eakins, known for his meticulous attention to anatomical accuracy and his desire to portray the truth of the human condition, brings forth Dr. Thompson's character through a nuanced representation that goes beyond mere physical likeness. The painting is characterized by its sober palette and the sitter's thoughtful expression, which suggests the intellectual rigor of his profession. The composition and the use of light showcase Eakins's mastery of painting techniques and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects.

"Portrait of Dr. William Thompson" is part of a series of portraits Eakins painted of doctors and scientists, which includes some of his most celebrated works such as "The Gross Clinic" (1875) and "The Agnew Clinic" (1889). These paintings not only highlight Eakins's fascination with the medical world but also serve as historical documents of the era's medical practices and the individuals who advanced them.

As with many of Eakins's portraits, this painting is also a reflection of the cultural and social context of late 19th-century America, particularly in Philadelphia, where Eakins lived and worked. The portrait remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Thomas Eakins and contributes to the understanding of his artistic legacy and the portrayal of American professionals during the period.
