"My Daughter Dorothy" is a painting by the prominent American Impressionist artist William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). Created in 1902, this work is one of several portraits that Chase painted of his family members, particularly his children, which are often celebrated for their intimate and affectionate portrayal of his subjects.

The painting features Chase's daughter, Dorothy, who is captured in a moment of youthful tranquility. She is depicted seated, possibly in a garden or domestic outdoor setting, which is consistent with Chase's fondness for painting en plein air (outdoors) and his interest in capturing the effects of natural light. The use of light and shadow, as well as the loose brushwork, are indicative of Chase's Impressionist influences and his mastery of the style.

William Merritt Chase was a leading figure in American art at the turn of the 20th century, and he was known not only for his portraits but also for his landscapes, still lifes, and interiors. He was also a respected teacher, having founded the Chase School of Art, which later became Parsons School of Design.

"My Daughter Dorothy" is significant as it reflects Chase's personal life and the tender relationship between father and artist. The painting is often noted for its warmth and the relaxed, informal pose of Dorothy, which suggests a moment captured rather than a formal sitting. This work exemplifies Chase's ability to combine his technical skill with a deep sense of affection for his subject, which in this case is his own daughter.

The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Chase's oeuvre and the broader context of American Impressionism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and as a representation of Chase's personal and familial connections.
