## About this work

Thomas Anshutz painted this in 1907, aged 56. It is now at The Met in New York.

### How it was made

- **Oil paint.** Pigment ground in a drying oil, usually linseed. It dries slowly, so painters could blend on the canvas, build up thin translucent glazes, and rework a picture over weeks. Canvas replaced wooden panels in the 1500s because it is lighter and can be rolled.

American, 1851–1912; born in Newport, Kentucky; died in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania

Anshutz studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Thomas Eakins, assisting his photographic and anatomical studies, and succeeded him as a teacher there after Eakins was forced out in 1886. His painting The Ironworkers’ Noontime of 1880 is one of the first American pictures of industrial labour. A gifted teacher for some thirty years, he counted Robert Henri, John Sloan and Charles Sheeler among his students.
