<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. Although the painting was later mislabeled by an early owner as an Italian street scene, Chase was in Spain during the summer when this work was created, firmly situating it within his Spanish period.</font></div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black>The animated single figure captures a woman in motion, a subject that is notably rare within Chases oeuvre and distinct from the more contemplative female figures that dominate his most valuable works.

《舞女》创作于1881至1882年间，这段时期是威廉·梅里特·蔡斯艺术生涯中充满活力与探索精神的阶段，他当时正积极接触欧洲题材，并拓展美国绘画的表现范畴。 该作品收录于蔡斯作品全集，体现了艺术家对西班牙题材的痴迷——当时众多美国画家在普拉多博物馆研习大师作品时，都曾亲身接触西班牙文化、服饰与动态美。尽管早期藏家曾误将此画标注为意大利街景，但创作期间蔡斯确实在西班牙度过整个夏季，足以证明其属于西班牙时期作品。


 


画面中单一动态人物捕捉了女性奔跑的瞬间，这在蔡斯作品中极为罕见，与他最具价值作品中常见的沉思女性形象形成鲜明对比。其拍卖纪录作品《此刻我已准备就绪》（约1883年）同样聚焦同期单一女性形象，凸显了这一创作阶段在其艺术发展中的重要性。 本作品亦与重要馆藏作品密切相关，包括大都会艺术博物馆1885年藏品《卡门西塔》及蒙特克莱尔艺术博物馆藏《手鼓演奏者》，两者均彰显了蔡斯对舞者与西班牙服饰的持续关注。





该画作曾于1906至1922年间长期借展于波士顿美术博物馆，印证其早期获得的机构认可。 切斯的西班牙主题作品应与约翰·辛格·萨金特相提并论——1881年萨金特创作《斗牛士》习作期间，两人曾有过交流。两位艺术家皆从委拉斯开兹作品中汲取灵感。《舞女》堪称切斯描绘女性嬉戏场景的鲜活典范，在欧洲艺术浸润的巅峰时期，精准捕捉了动态韵律与文化张力。
