, Youngstown, Ohio :The painting focuses on the girl's implied movement (she has just turned around from looking at one of the paintings), by rendering her in greater detail than the objects around her. The girl is Alice Dieudonne, Chase's daughter, then 10 years old, at his studio at Shinnecock Hills on Long Island. Her bracelets and gold hair band suggest genteel, graceful prosperity, and it has been said that the paintings also suggest it, although Chase at that point had some difficulty maintaining his lifestyle. The painting captures "a casual image of life suspended in time which, while looking effortless and unpremeditated, was actually carefully composed to reflect the movement of real people in real life situations." Chase learned much of this from French Impressionists. The artist was also enamored of the Dutch painter

, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas :Chase paints his daughter, holding a coral whistle, and her mother, wearing a Japanese-inspired costume. The black tones of the kimono and the background reflect Chase's experiments with delicate tonal harmonies, which contrast sharply with the white of the child's clothing and the red near the mother's neck. One critic wrote of " . . . the tingling pleasure that one receives from the one note of vivid scarlet that cuts through this quiet harmony like a knife . . .".

, Manchester, New Hampshire :Both figures look out at the viewer with composed expressions, as if they are conscious of the dignity of their pose. Yet the double portrait shows signs of a natural bond, especially the intertwined hands, suggesting affection between the grandfather and grandson, who share the same name. Chase combined a fashionable painting style of loose brushwork and dark palette with conventions of formal portraiture to create portraits that Americans with money would want. Scattered magazines on the floor and similar details add touches of authenticity that moderate the artificiality of the formal portrait.

, Richmond, Indiana :The painting was commissioned for the Richmond Art Museum, where it now hangs. Chase painted himself in his studio at his easel, holding his artist palette and with a blank canvas before him. In a letter to the museum director, Chase wrote: "I painted that picture for you people in Richmond. I thought you deserved something good. I have been interested in what you have been doing in the west for art." He added that the blank canvas in the picture was " the great picture I am going to paint someday". *''Self Portrait'', c. 1914,

, Michigan :The beribboned pince-nez eyeglasses, the carnation in his lapel and his cravat were all signature elements of Chase's typical dress and were caricatured in the press. When the Detroit Institute of Arts bought the painting in 1916, the museum stated "As a likeness it reproduces the artist as his many friends and pupils know him". The painting also exemplifies his technique, with "sure, quick brushwork". The painting has not been lined, so the original impasto (build up of paint) can be seen, especially on the forehead. The work was used to illustrate a reprint of a 1916 speech Chase made to the American Federation of Arts. The portrait shows Chase, head and shoulders, in a quarter turn to the right, head turned toward the viewer, his right side somewhat in shadow, looking directly at the viewer, eyebrows crossed. He wears a jet black jacket (and sits in front of a jet black background) with very white collar and cravat, along with a very delicate white carnation (carefully painted) in his lapel. *''Still Life Urns and Red Peppers'', c.

Contrasting textures can be seen throughout the painting, as for instance between the rougher rug, the woman's softer clothing and the pages of the books (the edges of which are rendered with careful brushstrokes) and the hard, reflective pot at the left, contrasted with the soft, reflective wall hanging and the large green plant; the shelves are full of smaller items of contrasting textures and colors. *''A Summer Day'', c.
