A Box at the Theatre des Italiens

Une loge aux Théâtre Italiens is an 1874 painting by the French artist Eva Gonzalès. The horizontal, oil-on-canvas composition depicts a seated woman and a standing man in a theater box at the Théâtre-Italien in Paris. The work was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1879 and it is now held in the Musée d'Orsay. Many scholars note the painting's significance within a broader nineteenth-century trend of depicting the theater box, and some have interpreted the work in relation to gender roles and hierarchies of Gonzalès's time.
