Eakins Eakins Eakins!
Eakins, I think.
Tough one! I'm going with Eakins.
Hard to decide, but I'm tipping toward Eakins.
An email vote for Eakins.

I'm not going to hold the fact that Eakins "crushed" my man Elsheimer in the first round against him. He probably couldn't help it. And I think he wins the battle of the boats here. (In fact, I really like the way these paintings match up: boat against boat, stage against stage, crowd against crowd. And I'd give all three rounds to Eakins.)
I like Ensor a lot! But I like Eakins more, I think.
Eakins! But Ensor is neat
It's Eakins Eakins Eakins, as the American rolls to victory 9-3 in his second big win.
