Martha and the Mule

Pastel by William Merritt Chase entitled "Interior: Young Woman Standing at Table" circa 1898. Mule from a vintage children's book about animals. I was struck by the scale and coloration of found mule and how well I could integrate it into Chase's work so it hardly seems like a collage.

    You're right Angie, I had to look very closely to see it's a collage! Well done!

    What a gorgeous muke! And you're right: it drops into the painting just perfectly.
