EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in American art history, depicting William Rush, an esteemed neo-classical wood sculptor, meticulously carving his masterpiece. The artwork in progress is the allegorical figure of the Schuylkill River, symbolizing Philadelphia's primary source of drinking water during that time. Rush's dedication to detail and precision is evident as he delicately sculpts every curve and contour of the water nymph's form. In this composition by Thomas Cowperthwait Eakins, we witness a captivating blend of realism and symbolism. The artist skillfully portrays Rush engrossed in his work within his studio, surrounded by tools and materials necessary for his craft. The presence of a live model adds authenticity to the scene as she poses gracefully beside him. Eakins' masterful use of light and shadow accentuates each stroke made by Rush's chisel on canvas mounted on composition board. This painting not only showcases the talent and creativity of both artists but also pays homage to Philadelphia's rich cultural heritage. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand the dedication and passion that fueled American artistry during the late 19th century. It serves as a testament to our nation's artistic legacy while reminding us of the importance of preserving our natural resources like the Schuylkill River for future generations.
