"Portrait, After Velasquez" is a notable work by the American artist William Merritt Chase, created in 1899. Chase, a prominent figure in the American Impressionist movement, was known for his versatility and skill in various genres, including portraiture, landscapes, and still lifes. This particular painting is a testament to Chase's admiration for the Spanish master Diego Velázquez, whose influence is evident in the composition and technique.

The painting depicts a young girl, rendered with a keen attention to detail and a sophisticated use of light and shadow, reminiscent of Velázquez's own style. Chase's brushwork in this piece is both fluid and precise, capturing the delicate textures of the girl's clothing and the softness of her features. The background is kept relatively simple, allowing the viewer to focus on the subject's serene expression and the subtle interplay of colors in her attire.

Chase's decision to create a work "after Velasquez" reflects his deep respect for the Old Masters and his desire to engage with their legacy through his own artistic practice. This painting not only showcases Chase's technical prowess but also his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of presence and personality, much like Velázquez did in his portraits.

"Portrait, After Velasquez" is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be admired by visitors for its elegance and homage to one of history's greatest painters. The work stands as a bridge between the rich traditions of European art and the burgeoning American art scene at the turn of the 20th century, highlighting Chase's role in bringing international influences into the American artistic canon.
