About Artwork: (1885) "On his way to Spain by way of London in 1885, Chase decided to introduce himself to James McNeill Whistler (1834–1903), whose art he had long admired. Whistler urged him to stay longer so they could paint portraits of one another. In depicting Whistler, Chase echoed characteristics of his subject’s recent portraits, such as that of Théodore Duret (13.20): a stylized figure, muted palette, fluid brushwork, and ambiguous space. Although Chase intended to honor Whistler and his style with these allusions, Whistler was offended, calling the work a "monstrous lampoon" and possibly destroying his portrait of Chase." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
