The pyramidal composition of figures in this painting wasinspired by a frieze on the Parthenon, though a man outside of the pyramid has a pose inspired by TheDying Gaul. Unusually, this 19th-century painting was created not from a live model, but a photographtaken by the artist of his students. In this painting, a naked man with his hands on his hips and his buttockspointing towards the viewer stands on top of a rock in the middle of the water where six other naked menare hanging out. For 10 points, name this homoerotic painting by Thomas Eakins.
