About the piece

Painted in 1888, this masterwork by William Merritt Chase captures a quiet moment of play between two girls in a dimly lit, sophisticated interior. The high-contrast composition features the bright white of the girls' dresses against deep, moody tones, showcasing Chase's exceptional command of light and atmosphere.
