"The Biglin Brothers Racing" is an 1872 oil painting by American artist Thomas Cowperthwait Eakins. This artwork is part of a series that Eakins created focusing on the Biglin brothers, who were notable rowing champions during the 1870s. The painting captures John and Barney Biglin in a double scull, depicting a moment of intense competition during a race on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Eakins, known for his realistic portrayal of American life, particularly in sports, used this series to explore themes of athleticism, competition, and human endurance. "The Biglin Brothers Racing" is celebrated for its dynamic representation of physical exertion and the detailed rendering of water and movement, which were groundbreaking at the time. The painting not only highlights Eakins' mastery of anatomy and his keen observational skills but also reflects the growing popularity of rowing as a professional and amateur sport in the United States during the late 19th century.

This work is considered an important piece in Eakins' oeuvre, illustrating his ability to combine technical precision with profound narrative depth. "The Biglin Brothers Racing" remains a significant example of American realist painting, offering insight into both the era's cultural context and its sporting life. The painting is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
