Wrestlers (Eakins)
''Wrestlers'' is a composition of 1899 by Thomas Eakins (Goodrich catalog #317-319). The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) owns the finished oil painting and an oil sketch. The Philadelphia Museum of Art has a somewhat smaller, unfinished version in oils. All depict two nearly naked men engaged in a wrestling match. One figure has the other in a half nelson and crotch hold. Eakins painted the work from the models and a nearly identical photograph. The men are shown at the Quaker City Barge Club, which once stood on Philadelphia's Boathouse Row.
The finished version (Goodrich catalog G-317) joined the LACMA collection in 2006, long after the oil sketch (Goodrich catalog G-318), which came in the 1920s. Philadelphia's unfinished version (G-319), acquired in 1926, is thought to be an abandoned version of the work, rather than a study for G-317, being painted before either LACMA work.
==Provenance==
Eakins was elected an academician of the National Academy of Design in 1902. He donated the finished version of ''Wrestlers'' (G-317) as a reception piece or "diploma picture," along with a self-portrait. The Academy deaccessioned ''Wrestlers'' in 1968, and sold it in 1970 to the Columbus Museum of Art. It was part of the Columbus, Ohio, museum's permanent collection until 2005, when it was deaccessioned to raise funds for the purchase of the Philip J. and Suzanne Schiller collection of American art. The oil sketch had been in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art since the 1920s. Patron Cecile Bartman funded LACMA's 2006 purchase of the finished painting, so the two works would be reunited.〔Fort, pp. 395-402.〕
