"The Nursery" is a painting by the prominent American Impressionist artist William Merritt Chase (1849–1916), created in 1890. This work is an exemplar of Chase's domestic genre scenes, which often feature intimate moments within family settings. The painting is notable for its depiction of the artist's own family life, showcasing his wife Alice and their firstborn child, Alice Dieudonnée Chase, in a tender and private moment.

Measuring 40 x 50 inches, "The Nursery" is executed in oil on canvas, a medium in which Chase excelled, allowing him to capture the play of light and shadow with loose, expressive brushwork that was characteristic of the Impressionist movement. The composition is set in the interior of the Chase family's summer home in Shinnecock Hills, Long Island, where Chase established the first important outdoor summer school for art, the Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art.

In "The Nursery," Chase's use of color, light, and texture come together to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, with the soft, diffused light filtering through the windows, illuminating the figures and the room. The scene is a celebration of domestic tranquility and maternal affection, themes that were dear to the artist and recurred in his work. The painting also reflects the cultural values of the time, emphasizing the importance of motherhood and the sanctity of the family home.

"The Nursery" is a significant piece within Chase's oeuvre, as it not only highlights his technical prowess and stylistic evolution influenced by European Impressionism but also provides a glimpse into the personal life of the artist. The work has been exhibited in several important exhibitions and is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, indicating its enduring artistic and historical significance.
