Note du spécialiste

The present work is a study for the pastoral landscape An Arcadian, formerly in the collection of Eakins scholar Lloyd Goodrich. An Arcadian is one of two idyllic Greek-themed works painted by Thomas Eakins around 1883 for which his wife Susan Macdowell Eakins sat as the model. The inscription in the upper left of the present work is by the collector and Eakins' friend, Charles Bregler.
