오페라
1881
In this captivating scene, Mary Cassatt places us right inside a Parisian theater box, focusing on a woman who is far more interested in the stage than the suitor staring at her from behind. She holds a fan elegantly, her profile sharp against the sketchy, bustling background of the opera house. This piece is a classic example of Impressionism's interest in modern life, but with a twist: Cassatt often subverted the 'male gaze' by showing women as active observers rather than just pretty objects to be looked at. It’s a witty commentary on social dynamics that feels surprisingly modern today.
