Portrait of Martha Walter 1908

"Portrait of Martha Walter" (1908) by American artist William Merritt Chase (1849-1916) is an oil on canvas portrait painting that captures the sitter's likeness with remarkable detail. The painting is characterized by Chase's signature use of Impressionistic brushstrokes, particularly evident in the rendering of the subject's face and clothing. Chase's work, often focused on portraits, is known for its sensitivity to light and color, qualities apparent in the warm hues of the subject's complexion and the subtle contrasts in her attire.
