Signed, u.r.: Wm M. Chase
Gift of Mrs. Carrie Chase Roberts
American Painting and Sculpture 1800-1945
Owned by Mrs. Carrie Chase Roberts, sister of the artist
The artist's mother was the first guest and subject of the first portrait the artist painted in his new studio and summer residence at Shinnecock, Long Island, in 1892.
The lace cap was added by Chase to cover a spot he had overlooked, but its delicate texture and bow also soften the sitter's features.
Chase taught the first outdoor school of landscape painting at Shinnecock.
