Portrait of My Daughter Alice is a 1895 unspecified by William Merritt Chase, a American Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a young girl in a long, white dress with lace details, standing in a room with a piano and a chair. The girl's dark hair is pulled back, and she wears a headscarf. Her hands are clasped in front of her, and she faces to the left. The room's walls feature a green patterned wallpaper, and a red curtain hangs to the left. A framed picture is visible on the wall above the chair. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the girl's gentle expression.
