“Reverie,” created by William Merritt Chase in 1890, exemplifies the Impressionist movement and is a portrait measuring 40 x 49.5 cm. The artwork captures a woman in profile, depicted with delicate brushstrokes and a warm sepia tone. Her contemplative expression is accentuated by the gentle placement of her hand near her face, and her attire, characterized by soft textures and intricate details, contributes to the overall mood of introspection and grace. The blending of light and shadow in the background enhances the dreamy quality of the piece, embodying the essence of a reverie.
