signed Wm. M. Chase, l.r. oil on panel According to Mr. D. Frederick Baker, "There is no exhibited work during Chase's lifetime with the title The Bathers; the painting is one of a number of small panels that Chase painted in Shinnecock, Long Island, site of his summer school of art (1891-1902), many of which were simply titled Shinnecock, Long Island shore, beach scene or a variation using these names. The scene appears to be of Shinnecock Bay looking west from the shore, and most likely dates to the turn-of-the-century." This painting will be included in Ronald G. Pisano's catalogue raisonné of works by William Merritt Chase. A letter from Mr. Baker will accompany this lot.
