"At the Seaside" is an oil painting by the prominent American Impressionist William Merritt Chase, created in circa 1892. This work is notable for its depiction of leisure and domestic life at the turn of the century, showcasing Chase's mastery in capturing the effects of light and atmosphere that were hallmarks of the Impressionist movement. The painting measures 20 x 34 inches (50.8 x 86.4 cm) and is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The composition of "At the Seaside" features a serene beach scene where a woman, believed to be Chase's wife Alice Gerson Chase, is seen sitting under a parasol with the couple's young daughter, watching over another child playing in the sand. The setting is likely the coast of Shinnecock, Long Island, where Chase established a summer school of art and often painted en plein air, capturing the dynamic coastal landscape and the relaxed, informal moments of family life.

Chase's use of quick, loose brushstrokes and a bright palette reflects the influence of French Impressionism, while also demonstrating his individual style characterized by a more structured composition and a refined handling of form. "At the Seaside" is celebrated for its vibrant depiction of light, with the shimmering sea and the sun-drenched sand contributing to the overall luminous quality of the painting.

The artwork is a quintessential example of Chase's ability to blend the American subject matter with the techniques and sensibilities of European modernism, making it an important piece in the oeuvre of American Impressionist art. "At the Seaside" not only captures a moment of personal and familial significance for the artist but also serves as a cultural artifact reflecting the leisure activities of the American upper-middle class at the end of the 19th century.
