In the Loge, also known as At the Opera, is an 1878 Impressionist painting by the American artist Mary Cassatt. The oil-on-canvas work depicts a bourgeois woman in a box at an opera house looking through her opera glasses, while a man in the background looks at her from a different box. The woman's costume and fan identify her upper-class status. Art historians see the painting as a commentary on the role of gender, looking, and power in the social spaces of the 19th century. The painting is now at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which also holds a preliminary drawing for the work.Painting credit: Mary Cassatt
