"Portrait of Harriet Hubbard Ayer" is an oil painting by the prominent American Impressionist painter William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). Created in 1890, this work exemplifies Chase's mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture the essence and personality of his sitters. The painting depicts Harriet Hubbard Ayer, an American entrepreneur, newspaper columnist, and the founder of Recamier Preparations, a line of beauty products and cosmetics that were popular in the late 19th century.

The portrait is notable for its rich color palette and the sophisticated rendering of textures, from the luxurious fabrics of Ayer's attire to the intricate details of her accessories. Chase's brushwork is both precise and fluid, contributing to a sense of liveliness and realism. The sitter's pose and expression convey a sense of confidence and poise, reflecting her status as a successful businesswoman and social figure of her time.

As with many of Chase's portraits, the background is rendered in a loose, impressionistic style, which serves to draw the viewer's focus to the subject. The interplay of light and shadow in the painting is a testament to Chase's skill in using light to model form and to create atmosphere.

"Portrait of Harriet Hubbard Ayer" is considered an important work in Chase's oeuvre, as it not only showcases his technical prowess but also provides a glimpse into the social and cultural milieu of the Gilded Age in America. The painting is part of the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
