Portrait of J. Harry Lewis
Thomas EakinsAmerican, 1844 - 1916
J. Harry Lewis (1840–1909) grew up a block from the Eakins house at 1729 Mount Vernon Street, Philadelphia, and he frequently joined the artist on his hunting and sailing expeditions. Evidently a patient and trusting friend, Lewis posed for his portrait with an unusually direct gaze, unlike the dreamy and evasive sitters often seen in other portraits by Eakins.
