"Hide and Seek" is an oil painting by the prominent American Impressionist William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). Created in 1888, this work is a quintessential example of Chase's genre scenes, showcasing his adeptness at capturing the play of light and the vivacity of everyday moments. The painting depicts a group of children engaged in the eponymous game, a subject that resonates with the innocence and joy of childhood.

Measuring 18 x 24 inches (45.7 x 61 cm), "Hide and Seek" is noted for its loose brushwork and vibrant palette, characteristics that align it with the Impressionist movement, which was then gaining traction in the United States. Chase, who studied in Munich and was influenced by European art trends, brought a cosmopolitan flair to his American subjects. His work often bridged the gap between the academic traditions of the Munich School and the more modern approaches of Impressionism.

In "Hide and Seek," Chase employs a dappled light effect, which bathes the scene in a warm, diffused glow, suggesting a late afternoon setting. The composition is dynamic, with the figures of the children arranged in a manner that draws the viewer's eye around the canvas, creating a sense of movement and playfulness. The painting's setting is likely inspired by the urban parks of New York City, where Chase lived and worked for much of his career.

"Hide and Seek" is part of Chase's broader oeuvre, which includes portraits, still lifes, and landscapes. His work is held in high regard for its contribution to American Impressionism and for its reflection of the social and cultural milieu of the late 19th century. Today, "Hide and Seek" is considered an important work within Chase's body of genre paintings and is featured in the collection of a notable museum, where it continues to be appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.
