Susan Macdowell Eakins
(1851 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - 1938 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
Susan Macdowell Eakins was born in Philadelphia where her father was a respected engraver and highly supportive of her artistic interests. After seeing Thomas Eakins' realistic painting The Gross Clinic in 1876, she enrolled in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts so she could study with him. She painted only sporadically after they married in 1884, but she still managed to win many awards for her portraits and domestic scenes in the academy's annual exhibitions. After his death, she returned avidly to her painting.
