<div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black><em>Dancing Girl</em> dates from 1881 to 1882, a dynamic and exploratory moment in William Merritt Chase’s career when he was actively engaging with European subjects and broadening the expressive range of American painting. The work is included in the Chase catalogue raisonne and reflects the artists fascination with Spanish themes, which many American painters of the period encountered firsthand while studying the masters in the Prado and absorbing the culture, costume, and movement of Spain.

הציור "נערה רוקדת" מתוארך לשנים 1881 עד 1882, רגע דינמי וחקרני בקריירה של ויליאם מריט צ'ייס, כאשר עסק באופן פעיל בנושאים אירופאיים והרחיב את טווח ההבעה של הציור האמריקאי. היצירה כלולה בקטלוג הקיום של צ'ייס ומשקפת את הקסם של האמן לנושאים ספרדיים, שרבים מהציירים האמריקאים מהתקופה נתקלו בהם ממקור ראשון בזמן שלמדו את המאסטרים בפראדו וספגו את התרבות, התלבושות והתנועה של ספרד. למרות שהציור תויג מאוחר יותר בטעות על ידי בעלים מוקדם כסצנת רחוב איטלקית, צ'ייס שהה בספרד במהלך הקיץ שבו נוצרה יצירה זו, מה שממקם אותה היטב בתוך תקופתו הספרדית.





הדמות המונפשת היחידה לוכדת אישה בתנועה, נושא נדיר במיוחד ביצירתו של צ'ייס ונבדל מדמויות הנשים המהורהרות יותר השולטות ביצירותיו היקרות ביותר. ציורו, שנערך במכירה פומבית, "אני חושב שאני מוכן עכשיו" משנת 1883 לערך, מתמקד בדמות נשית יחידה מאותה תקופה, ומדגיש את חשיבותו של רגע זה בהתפתחותו האמנותית. העבודה הנוכחית קשורה קשר הדוק גם לדוגמאות מוסדיות חשובות, כולל "כרמנצ'יטה" משנת 1885 במוזיאון המטרופוליטן לאמנות ו"נגן תוף מרים" במוזיאון האמנות מונטקלייר, שניהם מדגישים את התעניינותו המתמשכת של צ'ייס ברקדנים ובתלבושות ספרדיות.





הציור הושאל לטווח ארוך למוזיאון לאמנויות יפות בבוסטון בין השנים 1906 ל-1922, מה שאישר את ההכרה המוסדית המוקדמת שלו. יש לראות את עבודותיו הספרדיות של צ'ייס בדיאלוג עם אלו של ג'ון סינגר סרג'נט, אותו פגש בשנת 1881 בזמן שסרג'נט פיתח עבודות עבור אל חלאו, שכן שני האמנים פנו אל ולאסקז לקבלת השראה. "נערה רוקדת" מהווה דוגמה נמרצת ויוצאת דופן לצ'ייס המתאר אישה במשחק, לוכדת תנועה, קצב ומיידיות תרבותית בשיא מעורבותו באירופה.
