Dorothy is an oil painting by American artist William Merritt Chase.

With a 6' canvas, Dorothy is reminiscent of full-length Baroque paintings of emperors, giving the young girl a grandiose image.

Chase's favorite image to paint was his family, including his wife and his daughters, which are also his most well received.

[2] Dorothy is a painting in a series of full-length portraits Chase created of his family between 1886 and 1902.

Dorothy was purchased from the artist at the Exhibition of Indiana Art in Tomlinson Hall, in 1903, using the John Herron fund.
