By 1870 Eakins was back in Philadelphia, creating his first portraits from his family members and those of his fiancée, Katherine Crowell. These portraits were domestic settings, involving children at play or pets, employing an exactness of color, expression, and mood. From there he would paint outdoor life and sports with a candid realism; his ''Max Schmitt in a Single Scull'' was a mastery of perspective, of light and shadow, and color and composition.
