Memories 1910

"Memories," a 1910 oil painting by American artist William Merritt Chase (1849-1916), depicts a woman standing in a room, possibly an artist's studio, holding a sheet of paper in her hand. The woman is dressed in a white gown, and the painting showcases Chase's use of Impressionistic brushstrokes, particularly in the depiction of light and shadow on the woman's dress and the background objects. The work is a testament to Chase's mastery of capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life with a sense of elegance and refinement, a signature style of the artist.
