William Merritt Chase - Alice in the Shinnecock Studio [c.1900]


William Merritt Chase (1849 – 1916) was an American painter. In 1878 he began his long career as an influential teacher at the Art Students League of New York and later established his own summer school of landscape painting in the Shinnecock Hills on Long Island. Proficient in many media, Chase is best known for his spirited portraits and still lifes in oil.
