LabelEakins returned from a stay in the Bad Lands of the Dakota Territory with the cowboy's fringed buckskin suit worn here by Eakins's colleague and student, Franklin Schenck. Posed in Eakins's studio, Schenck sings and plays the guitar while Samuel Murray watches and listens in an evocation of life on a ranch that one critic called "romantic," an unusual description for an Eakins work.Social Tags [?]cowboy [x] guitar [x] music [x] musician [x] nhd 1877 to 1900 entertainment [x] nhd 1877 to 1900 rural [x] singing [x] song [x] [Add Your Own Tags]* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons.
