Woman in Green 1909

"Woman in Green" was painted in 1909 by American artist William Merritt Chase, known for his Impressionist style. The painting depicts a woman in a verdant dress standing in a richly decorated interior, suggesting the opulence of the Gilded Age. The use of light and color creates a sense of depth and movement, characteristic of Chase's work. The woman's pose and the elegant setting are hallmarks of late 19th-century portraiture, while the loose brushstrokes and impressionistic elements showcase Chase's artistic innovation.
