The Fairman Rogers Four-in-Hand (originally titled A May Morning in the Park) is an 1879–80 painting by the American painter Thomas Eakins. It shows Fairman Rogers driving a coaching party in his four-in-hand carriage through Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. It is thought to be the first painting to examine precisely, through systematic photographic analysis, how horses move.[2]

The Fairman Rogers Four-in-Hand is in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
