"My Little Daughter Dorothy" is a painting by the prominent American Impressionist artist William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). Created in 1890, this artwork is a tender portrayal of Chase's second daughter, Dorothy Bremond Chase, who was born in 1887. The painting is an example of Chase's skill in capturing the innocence and charm of childhood, themes that were recurrent in his oeuvre, particularly in his depictions of his own family members.

The painting showcases Chase's adept use of light and color, characteristics that align him with the Impressionist movement, although he maintained a distinctive style that combined the spontaneity of Impressionism with the formal structure of Realism. In "My Little Daughter Dorothy," Chase employs a soft and warm palette to render the delicate features of his young daughter, emphasizing the intimate and affectionate nature of the father-daughter relationship.

The composition of the painting is carefully constructed, with Dorothy positioned off-center and looking away from the viewer, which creates a candid and naturalistic feel. The brushwork is loose and fluid, capturing the texture of Dorothy's dress and the surrounding environment with a sense of immediacy and liveliness.

As a significant work in Chase's body of art, "My Little Daughter Dorothy" not only provides insight into his personal life but also contributes to the broader narrative of American Impressionism and the cultural emphasis on family and domesticity during the late 19th century. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical value.

William Merritt Chase was a key figure in American art, known for his influence as a teacher and for his role in establishing the Chase School, which later became Parsons School of Design. His works are displayed in major museums across the United States, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Art Institute of Chicago. "My Little Daughter Dorothy" stands as a testament to Chase's mastery of portraiture and his enduring legacy in the American art canon.
