Painting Description
"The Artist's Wife and his Setter Dog (Susan Macdowell Eakins)" is an oil painting by the renowned American realist painter Thomas Cowperthwait Eakins, created in 1884-1889. This intimate portrait features the artist's wife, Susan Macdowell Eakins, who was herself an accomplished painter and photographer. The painting is a testament to the personal and professional partnership between Thomas and Susan, showcasing her in a moment of quiet repose with one of the couple's dogs, a setter, which adds a domestic and affectionate dimension to the work.
Eakins is known for his masterful technique, attention to anatomical accuracy, and his ability to capture the psychological complexity of his subjects. In this painting, he employs a subdued palette and a controlled use of light to highlight the figure of his wife and the dog, creating a sense of depth and volume. The composition reflects Eakins' interest in the interplay between figures and their environment, as well as his skill in rendering textures and fabrics.
The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of the role of women in the arts during the late 19th century. Susan Macdowell Eakins was a significant artist in her own right, and her portrayal by her husband underscores the mutual respect and influence they shared in their creative lives. The painting is an example of Eakins' portraiture, which often featured his family, friends, and individuals from his immediate circle, providing a glimpse into the personal world of the artist.
"The Artist's Wife and his Setter Dog (Susan Macdowell Eakins)" is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to American art and its insight into the life and work of Thomas Eakins and his circle.
