About the piece
Created in 1915, this self-portrait captures American Impressionist William Merritt Chase with a dignified, introspective gaze. The work showcases his masterful technique, using rapid, confident brushstrokes and a deep, atmospheric palette to create a sense of presence and intellectual gravitas. A monocle and white beard add to the distinguished, scholarly character of the piece.
