In The Loge, also known as At The Opera, is an 1878 Impressionist painting by the American artist Mary Cassatt. The oil-on-canvas painting is currently in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which also holds a preliminary drawing for the work.[1] The painting displays a bourgeois woman at the opera house looking through her opera glasses, while a man in the background looks at her.[2] The woman's costume and fan make clear her upper class status.[2] Art historians see the painting as commentary on the role of gender, looking, and power in the social spaces of the nineteenth century.[2][3]
