Worthington Whittredge is a 1896 oil by William Merritt Chase, a American Impressionism work, held at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
The painting shows an older man with a white beard and mustache, wearing a dark suit and holding a paintbrush in his right hand. He is sitting on a stool, with a palette on his lap. To his left is a large, ornate gold frame, possibly for a painting. The background is a dark, muted color. The man's expression is serious, and he appears to be concentrating on his work. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who painted this portrait, look up William Merritt Chase.
