In 1873 his expeditions resulted in a series of works, including this painting. Hunting for rail—small game birds that populate marshes—is possible only at high tide, when the \"pusher\" can propel the flat-bottomed boat through the thick reeds. Here, three pairs of sportsmen are shown in a frieze-like composition with nearly microscopic detail. Eakins depicted them in the successive phases of the hunt: loading the gun; steadying the boat and waiting; and taking aim.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/10824\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Pushing for Rail\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas Eakins","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49888215138547,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (13\" x 30 1\/16\")","offer_id":49888215171315,"sku":null,"price":723.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (11 3\/4\" x 27 1\/8\")","offer_id":49888215204083,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (14 3\/8\" x 33 1\/4\")","offer_id":49888215236851,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (17 5\/8\" x 40 3\/4\")","offer_id":49888215269619,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (22 3\/4\" x 52 5\/8\")","offer_id":49888215302387,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (27 3\/8\" x 63 1\/4\")","offer_id":49888215335155,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (32 1\/4\" x 74 5\/8\")","offer_id":49888215367923,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (38 5\/8\" x 89 1\/4\")","offer_id":49888215400691,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/PushingforRail.jpg?v=1790354727","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/pushing-for-rail","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
