A Painting by William Merritt Chase

by Matthew Raley "A Lake for Miniature Yachts," by William Merritt Chase, ca. 1888, The Metropolitan Museum of Art

I was browsing through the special exhibitions now showing at the Met (wishing I could stroll instead of scroll), when I found this piece. I love Chase's work, and it was good to be reminded of his feel for composition after a long time neglecting him.
