In the Park - a By-Path 1890

"In the Park - a By-Path," painted by William Merritt Chase in 1890, showcases the artist's signature Impressionistic style. The scene depicts a young girl in a white dress standing by a stone wall, while a woman sits on a bench in the distance. Chase captures the play of light and shadow in the park's lush greenery, highlighting the dappled sunlight on the path and the foliage. This work, now housed in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, offers a glimpse into the serene beauty of nature and everyday life, characteristic of Chase's artistic vision.
