The Gross Clinic, 1875
Eakins has painted over hundreds of portraits of his friends, family and prominent people in the art world. One of his friends he painted was Miss Amelia Van Buren in 1890. He painteds a picture of The Gross Clinic, which is a picture of a going on surgeory. The Art Journal said "it is in every respect a more favorable example of this artist's abilities than his much-talked-of composition representing a dissecting room." It is said to be Eakins favorite painting he ever did. This painting is oil on canvas, like all his other works. It is about 96in by 78in.
