In 1889, students from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine commissioned Eakins to make a portrait of the retiring professor of surgery Dr. D. Hayes Agnew . Working day and night, Eakins completed the painting in three months, in time for it to be presented at the University commencement on May 1, 1889.
