==মূল্যায়ণ==
১৯১৭ সালের ২৯ অক্টোবর [[রবার্ট হেনরি]] [[আর্ট স্টুডেন্টস লিগ অফ নিউ ইয়র্ক|আর্ট স্টুডেন্ট লিগের]] উদ্দেশ্যে একটি খোলা চিঠিতে লেখেন:
<blockquote>
Thomas Eakins was a man of great character. He was a man of iron will and his will to paint and to carry out his life as he thought it should go. This he did. It cost him heavily but in his works we have the precious result of his independence, his generous heart and his big mind. Eakins was a deep student of life, and with a great love he studied humanity frankly. He was not afraid of what his study revealed to him.</blockquote>
<blockquote>In the matter of ways and means of expression, the science of technique, he studied most profoundly, as only a great master would have the will to study. His vision was not touched by fashion. He struggled to apprehend the constructive force in nature and to employ in his works the principles found. His quality was honesty. "Integrity" is the word which seems best to fit him. Personally I consider him the greatest portrait painter America has produced.<ref>[http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/ARTeakins.htm] retrieved December 15, 2007</ref>

১৯৮২ সালে দুই খণ্ডে প্রকাশিত এয়াকিসন জীবনীতে শিল্প ঐতিহাসিক লয়েড গুডরিক লিখেছেন:
<blockquote>
In spite of limitations--and what artist is free of them?--Eakins' achievement was monumental. He was our first major painter to accept completely the realities of contemporary urban America, and from them to create powerful, profound art...In portraiture alone Eakins was the strongest American painter since [[John Singleton Copley|Copley]], with equal substance and power, and added penetration, depth, and subtlety.<ref>Goodrich, Volume II, page 289.</ref>
</blockquote>
১৯৬৪ সালে ''[[দ্য নিউ ইয়র্ক টাইমস]]'' পত্রিকার শিল্প সমালোচক জন ক্যানাডে লিখেছিলেন:
<blockquote>
As a supreme realist, Eakins appeared heavy and vulgar to a public that thought of art, and culture in general, largely in terms of a graceful sentimentality. Today he seems to us to have recorded his fellow Americans with a perception that was often as tender as it was vigorous, and to have preserved for us the essence of an American life which, indeed, he did not idealize--because it seemed to him beautiful beyond the necessity of idealization.<ref>Canaday, page 89.</ref>
