FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
Painted in Madrid, this panel belongs to a genre of painting popularized in 19th-century France by Renoir, Degas, and Cassatt. The setting of a "loge" or a theater box became a microcosm for exploring the social circuits of looking: at the theater, the line between audience and stage performer easily blurs. While Picasso exaggerates the scale and ornamentation of the woman's costume, the shadowy presence of a man at left is integral to the composition.
