"Portrait of Professor Benjamin H. Rand" is an 1874 painting by Thomas Eakins. It is oil on canvas and depicts Benjamin H. Rand, a doctor at Jefferson Medical College who taught Eakins anatomy. In the painting, Rand is reading a book while petting a cat.
The portrait was the first Eakins made of someone outside his family. [Adams, Henry (2005). "Eakins Revealed: The Secret Life of an American Artist." Oxford University Press, ISBN 0195156684] It is a prelude to what his considered his most important painting, "The Gross Clinic" (1875). Rand donated it to Jefferson Medical College when he retired, and it has been housed there since.]In April 2007, it was purchased by Alice L. Walton for an estimated US$20 million and will be housed at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art with "The Gross Clinic".[Vogel, Carol (April 12, 2007).
