Woman In A Loge


This painting was painted by Mary Cassett in 1879. The Painting is painted with bright luminous colors and flowing brushwork. The colors show a lightness that make the painting eye catching. The Painting Depicts a woman at the opera elegantly dressed. Behind her the viewer can see the through a mirror the reflection of the back of her as well as other People watching the opera. The woman's face is a face of enjoyment as you can see from the smile on the woman's face. Which is why i like this painting so much. Her smile isn't really big as if to show excitement, but a smile of contentment, comfort, and the joy of just being in the moment. I can relate to this image because it reminds me of times being out with friends and being truly happy.
