Metropolitan Museum of Art
From 1891 to 1902 Chase served as the director for the Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art in the town of Southampton,on Long Island,New York.Chase taught two days each week and spent the rest of his time painting and enjoying the company of his family. his canvas women and children take their ease on a beach,probably along Shinnecock Bay.The perfect site for genteel leisure on the perfect day is capped by a brief expanse of sky that fills the upper half of the canvas,its scudding clouds echoing the bright white form of the children’s dresses and the parasol.
