More about this artwork

"The Loge (verso)" (1882) by Mary Cassatt captures a delightful sketch of two figures, possibly at a theatrical event, an intimate glimpse into late 19th-century leisure activities. This delicate drawing, characterized by Cassatt's deft, light touch and attention to detail, presents two women seated closely together. The woman on the right, holding a fan, turns her face slightly toward her companion, suggesting a shared moment of engagement or whispering conversation. Behind them, an impression of their surrounding setting suggests the ornate interior typical of a theater loge, adding context to their finery and poised demeanor.Cassatt, an American artist who spent much of her career in France and was associated with the Impressionists, is renowned for her portrayals of the social and private lives of women. In this artwork, one can appreciate her focus on the nuanced interactions and the quiet elegance of her subjects. The drawing, though seemingly informal, is a tender documentation of the period's cultural life and the subtle dynamics of female companionship.

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.
