The artwork entitled “Tired, aka Portrait of the Artist’s Daughter” was created by William Merritt Chase around 1894. This oil-on-panel painting, representative of the Impressionism art movement, measures 33.02 by 24.13 centimeters. As a portrait genre painting, it remains housed within a private collection.
The artwork features a young girl reclining with her head supported by one hand, exuding a sense of weariness. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, characteristic of the Impressionist style, capturing the light and texture of the scene with a delicate, almost ephemeral quality. The soft, pastel hues and the informal pose of the subject reflect an intimate, personal moment, drawing the viewer into the quiet, contemplative mood of the painting.
