The Loge [recto]

Mary Cassatt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two people seated side by side from the waist up. The person on the left has short hair, while the person on the right has straight hair with bangs. Both have delicately drawn facial features. The person on the left appears to be holding a fan, partially obscuring their upper body. They are depicted in minimal clothing. The background features curving lines and patterns, with an indistinct circular chandelier-like object in the upper right corner. The sketch is done in soft, impressionistic light pencil work.
