For a show at the Haggin Museum, Stockton, CA. in 2018, we were asked to respond to one of ten paintings they'd chosen from their own collection. This painting by William Merrit Chase, The Artist’s Wife, spoke to me. My own painting, also called The Artist's Wife, was my response to this piece. It is also shown on this site.
