Portrait of Dora Wheeler
1882–83
William Merritt Chase's 'Dora Wheeler' (1882–1883) portrays the painter-designer Dora Wheeler (1856–1940), daughter of the textile designer Candace Wheeler, seated before one of her mother's embroidered tapestries. The bold, modern composition and the sitter's confident poise record the emergence of the American professional woman artist in the 1880s. Oil on canvas, Cleveland Museum of Art.
