A sensual pastel study by William Merritt Chase, depicting a Japanese model draped in a green kimono. This American Impressionist work captures the late 19th-century fascination with Japanese aesthetics, perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any space.
This captivating pastel by William Merritt Chase, an American Impressionist, offers a glimpse into the artist's fascination with Japanese aesthetics, a trend that swept through the Western art world in the late 19th century. The work depicts the back view of a nude Japanese woman, draped with a vibrant green kimono, its gold accents catching the light. The model's pose is sensual yet demure, her dark hair neatly arranged atop her head. The background features a decorative gold screen, adding to the exotic and luxurious atmosphere. Chase's masterful use of pastel creates a soft, luminous effect, capturing the delicate nuances of skin tone and the rich textures of the fabric. As a fine art print, this piece brings a touch of elegance and intrigue to any interior. Its subtle colour palette and intimate subject matter make it a perfect addition to a bedroom, study, or living room, adding a sophisticated and timeless appeal.

William Merritt Chase
William Merritt Chase, though American by birth and subject matter, was profoundly influenced by the European masters, particularly those of the Impressionist movement. Born in 1849, Chase initially trained in a more traditional, academic style, but his travels abroad, especially his time spent studying in Munich, exposed him to a looser, more vibrant way of painting. He became a key figure in introducing Impressionism to American audiences, not just through his sun-drenched landscapes and portraits, but also through his influential teaching career. Chase's work is characterised by its elegant compositions and a keen eye for capturing the fleeting effects of light. His paintings often depict scenes of leisure and refinement, from the bustling parks of New York City to the serene beaches of Long Island. Works such as 'Hide and Seek' and 'In the Park' exemplify his ability to blend the everyday with a sense of timeless beauty. What's perhaps less known is Chase's passion for collecting art and antiquities; his studio, famously located in the Tenth Street Studio Building, was a veritable treasure trove, reflecting his deep appreciation for artistic heritage. Beyond his artistic output, Chase was a dedicated educator, shaping generations of American artists. He taught at the Art Students League of New York and founded his own Chase School of Art, later Parsons School of Design. His commitment to both creating and teaching cemented his legacy as a pivotal figure in the development of American Impressionism, bringing a touch of European sophistication to the American art scene.
