Courtauld 04 Pierre Auguste Renoir - La Loge  [7 of 15]


4. Pierre Auguste Renoir - La Loge. 1874, 80 x 64 cm. Renoir makes a play on the contrast between the poses of the two figures: the woman looks out with a half smile on her face and her opera glasses beside her, in her hand, as if to receive the gaze of other members of the audience. Her male companion looks through his opera glasses out from the box and upwards, and thus implicitly at another box, not down at the stage.
