The Loge (recto)

1882

Mary Cassatt captures a candid moment at the theater in this sketch for her famous painting 'The Loge.' Two women sit in a box, one holding a fan, seemingly observing the audience rather than the stage—a classic Impressionist twist on modern life. The loose, energetic lines show Cassatt working out the composition, revealing how she built her masterpieces from quick, observant studies.
