Lady in Black, in a Loge, Facing Right (Breeskin 24)
1880
This etching by Mary Cassatt depicts a woman seated in a theater loge, her figure rendered in profile as she gazes toward the right. The work demonstrates Cassatt's characteristic interest in the private moments and social spaces of women, executed with the delicate lines and subtle modeling typical of her printmaking practice. The composition captures both the intimacy of the figure and the refined elegance associated with late 19th century theater culture, while showcasing the artist's technical mastery of the etching medium.
