The Thinker: Portrait of Louis N. Kenton
Artist: Thomas Eakins (American, 1844–1916)
Original Dimensions: 82" x 42"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (1900) "Louis Kenton (1865–1947) was Eakins’s brother-in-law, having married Elizabeth Macdowell—the sister of the artist’s wife, Susan—in 1889. The marriage was stormy and apparently brief, and very little is known of it, or the portrait sitter. The painting’s title, The Thinker, comes from an inscription on the reverse that apparently was added by Susan Eakins, also an artist. Beginning in 1900 the portrait was widely exhibited, garnering critical attention for its "intense realism . . . devoid of flattery." Critics praised the somber palette and introspective pose as representative of "the strong individuality of the subject."" - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
