About the piece
Painted in 1906, this still life by celebrated American artist William Merritt Chase demonstrates his virtuosity with light and oil. The composition centers on the interplay of light reflecting off silver scales and a luminous ceramic bowl, set against a deep, atmospheric backdrop that evokes the Dutch Golden Age tradition through a modern impressionist lens.
