About the piece
Painted in 1890, Thomas Eakins' 'The Concert Singer' depicts Weda Cook, a renowned vocalist of the era. The work is celebrated for its precise observation of the physical act of singing and the shimmering, iridescent textures of the performer's pink silk gown, set against a dark, atmospheric backdrop that emphasizes the figure.
