Duas alunas com túnicas gregas

Thomas Eakins American
1883
Not on view
Para Thomas Eakins, a fotografia era um recurso para aumentar o naturalismo de suas pinturas. Como um complemento para seus estudos do corpo humano, recrutou como modelos seus alunos na Academia de Belas Artes da Pensilvânia, Filadélfia, e compilou um extenso catálogo fotográfico. Esta fotografia, impressa em uma folha grande de papel revestido com platina, é um estudo de poses e gestos; as posturas das modelos são um eco deliberado das figuras em relevo escultórico Arcadia (executado por Eakins em 1883), que foi colocada sobre a mesa embaixo de duas paletas de pintor penduradas na parede.
