"Children Playing Parlor Croquet" is a sketch by the prominent American Impressionist painter William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). Known for his portrayal of American life and his mastery of various mediums, Chase often depicted leisure activities and domestic scenes that reflected the social fabric of his time. This particular sketch captures a moment of childhood play, illustrating a group of children engaged in a game of parlor croquet, an indoor version of the lawn game popular in the Victorian era.

The sketch is executed with the loose, expressive brushwork characteristic of Chase's style, conveying movement and the spontaneity of the children's game. The composition likely reflects the informal and intimate setting of a family home, a subject that Chase returned to frequently in his work. The use of light and shadow, as well as the attention to the details of the children's clothing and the interior space, demonstrate Chase's interest in the effects of light and his ability to render textures.

"Children Playing Parlor Croquet" serves as an example of Chase's contribution to American Impressionism and his exploration of modern life. His works often bridged the gap between European influences and the burgeoning American art scene of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This sketch not only provides insight into the artist's technical skill and aesthetic preferences but also offers a glimpse into the social and cultural practices of the period.

As a notable work within Chase's oeuvre, "Children Playing Parlor Croquet" is significant for its artistic merit and for its reflection of the historical context in which it was created. It remains an important piece for study by art historians and enthusiasts who are interested in the evolution of American art and the depiction of everyday life at the turn of the century.
