Dorothy 

William Merritt Chase's portrait "Dorothy" showcases the artist's mastery of capturing the essence of a youthful subject. The young girl, in a simple white dress, gazes off to the side with a wistful air. A single red flower tucked behind her ear adds a touch of color and vibrancy to the composition. The artist's loose brushstrokes and use of light create a sense of movement and warmth, bringing the subject to life with a captivating realism. Chase, a prominent American artist of the late 19th century, is known for his portraits and still lifes, often depicting scenes from everyday life with a touch of elegance.
