Painting Description
"Tired" (also known as "Portrait of the Artist's Daughter") is a notable work by the prominent American Impressionist painter William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). Created in 1884, this painting is a tender and intimate portrayal of Chase's eldest daughter, Alice Dieudonnée Chase, who was often a subject in his domestic-themed artworks. The painting measures 36 1/4 x 32 1/4 inches (92.1 x 81.9 cm) and is executed in oil on canvas.
In "Tired," Chase captures a moment of childhood repose, depicting his daughter slumped over in a moment of rest or perhaps mild exhaustion, a common state for a young child. The work is characterized by its loose brushwork and the soft, diffused light that was typical of Chase's style during this period. The painting's composition reflects the influence of contemporary European art on Chase, particularly the works of the Spanish master Diego Velázquez, whose informal approach to portraiture Chase admired.
The painting is a fine example of Chase's ability to blend the aesthetic of Impressionism with the realism of his subjects, creating works that were both modern in their execution and deeply personal. "Tired" not only showcases Chase's skill as a painter but also provides a glimpse into the private world of the artist's family life, which was a recurring theme throughout his career.
"Tired" is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, a testament to its significance in the oeuvre of William Merritt Chase and its value to the history of American art. The work is often cited in discussions of Chase's portraiture and his contributions to American Impressionism, as well as in examinations of the portrayal of children and family life in art during the late 19th century.
