Portrait of Mrs.C. (Alice Gerson Chase) 1895

"Portrait of Mrs. C. (Alice Gerson Chase)" is a portrait by American artist William Merritt Chase, created in 1895. The oil-on-canvas painting depicts Chase's wife, Alice, in a formal pose, seated with a fur-trimmed coat and a hint of red in her hair, a signature detail of Chase's artistic style. The painting is noted for its realistic depiction of Mrs. Chase's features and the elegant, yet subtle, use of light and shadow. It is currently on view at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh.
