"Hiawatha" is a painting by American realist artist Thomas Eakins. The painting features a dark silhouette of a figure standing in the foreground, looking up at a sky filled with faint, indistinct shapes. The background depicts a hazy scene with shapes that evoke the feeling of a fantastical landscape, possibly referencing the epic poem "The Song of Hiawatha" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Eakins's signature style of realism is evident in the detailed depiction of the figure and the evocative use of light and shadow.
