William Merritt Chase

This is a tracing William Merritt Chase did from one of his early, highly successful paintings, “Keying Up – The Court Jester” (now in the collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts). It was painted in 1875 while Chase was a student at the Royal Academy of Art in Munich, Germany. The painting won an award at Philadelphia’s Centennial Exposition and helped establish his reputation in America. Chase also turned the image into an etching for wider distribution in 1879.
