The Concert Singer is a painting by Thomas Eakins (1844–1916) depicting the singer Weda Cook (1867–1937). The work commenced in 1890 and completed in 1892 was Eakins’s first full-length portrait of a woman. It is now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The Concert Singer was one of a series of portraits Eakins painted of Philadelphia natives who were prominent in science and culture with the intent of producing major showpieces for exhibition.
