More about this artwork

"The Loge" by Mary Cassatt is a captivating impressionist painting that captures a moment at a theater or opera house. The scene focuses on two figures, presumably women, seated in a box at the event. The woman on the left is shown partially obscured by a large, colorful fan that she holds close to her face, suggesting a moment of intrigue or private reflection. Her gaze directs outwards, perhaps observing the spectacle or the audience, filtered through the veil of her fan.The woman on the right has a more introspective and subdued demeanor. She appears to be less engaged with the fan or the external scene and is captured in a moment of contemplation or detachment. She holds a bouquet of delicate flowers, adding a touch of softness and perhaps indicating a special occasion or a gift received. Both women are dressed in elegant attire suitable for a high-society event, highlighted by the use of soft, flowing brushstrokes that impart a sense of genteel refinement.Cassatt's use of light and color in this painting enhances the atmospheric quality. The background is a mix of dark and light tones, suggesting the ambient lighting of the theater and possibly the movement of other attendees.

Mary Stevenson Cassatt was an American painter and printmaker. She was born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh’s North Side), but lived much of her adult life in France where she befriended Edgar Degas and exhibited with the Impressionists. Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children.

She was described by Gustave Geffroy as one of "les trois grandes dames" (the three great ladies) of Impressionism alongside Marie Bracquemond and Berthe Morisot.In 1879, Diego Martelli compared her to Degas, as they both sought to depict movement, light, and design in the most modern sense.
