Artist’s Daughter in Mother’s Dress (Young Girl in Black) (c.1899). William Merritt Chase (American, 1849-1916). Oil on canvas. Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.Chase’s work depicts Cosy trying on the raiment of adulthood, a familiar scene. Chase gives us a Spanish-style portrait, as Cosy stands in front of a simple black curtain, holding a fan, which dangles from her wrist. The drama is in her pale, grey face. -- source link
