Box Party

1936

An oil painting depicting a group of elegantly dressed people at a theater. In the foreground, a woman in a white dress with a golden clasp holds a pair of opera glasses, while another in a red dress holds a feathered fan. Behind them, various figures appear engaged in watching a performance, with a man in glasses peering over the shoulder of the woman in white. The rich drapery of the theater box frames the scene, adding to the opulent atmosphere.
