"The Agnew Clinic" is a renowned oil painting by American artist Thomas Cowperthwait Eakins, completed in 1889. The work is a significant example of 19th-century American Realism and is notable for its candid portrayal of a surgical scene. It depicts Dr. David Hayes Agnew, a prominent surgeon of the time, performing a partial mastectomy in a medical amphitheater filled with students and colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania, where Agnew was a professor.

The painting was commissioned by the University of Pennsylvania's graduating medical class of 1889 as an homage to Dr. Agnew, who was retiring that year. Eakins, who had a deep interest in medicine and anatomy, took great care in accurately representing the surgical procedure and the individuals present. The composition is remarkable for its use of light, which focuses on the pale body of the patient, the red blood on the surgical cloths, and the luminous figure of Dr. Agnew, clad in white, creating a stark contrast with the darkly dressed observers.

Measuring approximately 84.25 inches by 118.25 inches, "The Agnew Clinic" is larger than Eakins's earlier work "The Gross Clinic" (1875), which also portrayed a medical scene. The painting is a testament to Eakins's skill in combining technical precision with dramatic narrative, and it provides a historical snapshot of the medical practices and educational environment of the era.

"The Agnew Clinic" has been the subject of both admiration and controversy, reflecting changing attitudes towards the representation of the human body and medical procedures in art. It is held in high esteem for its historical value and its contribution to the genre of medical portraiture. The painting is currently housed in the collection of the University of Pennsylvania and remains an important work for its portrayal of the intersection of art, medicine, and education in the late 19th century.
