Chase's wife Alice, in white, receives a visitor in a yellow dress and hat in the parlour of their summer house at Shinnecock, Long Island, a room full of paintings, a Japanese hanging and a mirror. Chase loved painting his own houses and family, and the picture shows his love of reflected light and rich surfaces. It is in the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
