The Japanese Print (c.1888). William Merritt Chase (American, 1849-1916). Oil on canvas. Neue Pinakothek Bayerische Staatsgemaldesammlungen.Chase’s portrait of a young woman, possibly his wife Alice, dressed in a kimono admiring a Japanese print, reflects the growing late 19th-century American interest in Asian arts and crafts. Japanese objects, increasingly accessible during a period of increased trade with Japan in the 1860s, were particularly favored. -- source link
