A orillas del mar

ca. 1892
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 769
Desde 1891 hasta 1902, Chase fue director de la escuela de arte de verano Shinnecock Hills en la población de Southampton, Nueva York. Daba clases dos días por semana y pasaba el resto de su tiempo pintando y disfrutando de la compañía de su familia. En esta escena, mujeres y niños se relajan en la playa (probablemente en la bahía de Shinnecock), un lugar ideal para el asueto en un día perfecto. La mitad superior del lienzo es una vasta extensión de cielo atravesado por nubes livianas, que se hacen eco de las formas blancas y brillantes de los vestidos de los niños.
