Au bord de la mer

ca. 1892
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 769
De 1891 à 1902, William Merritt Chase fut directeur de la Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art, sise dans la ville de Southampton, dans l’État de New York. Il y enseignait deux jours par semaine et passait le reste de son temps à peindre et à jouir de sa vie de famille. Sur cette toile, des femmes et des enfants de la bonne société profitent de la plage, probablement dans la baie de Shinnecock, par une belle journée ensoleillée. La moitié supérieure de la toile est dévolue au ciel, traversé de nuages clairs qui font écho aux robes blanches des enfants.
