"Lilliputian Boat-Lake - Central Park," also known as "Lilliputian Boats in the Park; Central Park," is a notable painting by the prominent American Impressionist artist William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). Created in 1899, this work exemplifies Chase's adeptness at capturing the leisure activities and social life of New York City's urban landscape during the Gilded Age. The painting is a vibrant depiction of the Conservatory Water, a popular pond located on the east side of Central Park near 72nd Street, which was and still is frequented by children and adults sailing model boats.

Measuring 32 x 47 5/8 inches (81.3 x 121 cm), the artwork is executed in oil on canvas, a medium in which Chase excelled, allowing him to render the scene with fluid brushstrokes and a rich palette. The composition features a group of well-dressed individuals, including women in the latest fashions and children engrossed in the activity of sailing miniature boats, capturing the idyllic and genteel pastimes of the era.

Chase's interest in plein air painting and his focus on contemporary life are evident in "Lilliputian Boat-Lake - Central Park." The artist's use of light and color reflects the influence of European Impressionism, yet the subject matter is distinctly American, showcasing the urban park as a democratic space for recreation and socializing. This painting is a testament to Chase's skill in blending Impressionist techniques with a distinctly American sensibility, making it an important work in the canon of American art at the turn of the century.

"Lilliputian Boat-Lake - Central Park" is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, a testament to its significance and the enduring legacy of William Merritt Chase as a key figure in American Impressionism. The painting not only offers a glimpse into the leisurely pursuits of New Yorkers at the close of the 19th century but also serves as a historical document of the cultural and social dynamics of the time.
