A Box at the Theater (At the Concert) is a 1890 oil by Auguste Renoir, a Impressionism work, depicting Woman, held at Clark Art Institute.
In this painting, a woman in a black dress with lace sleeves sits in a box at the theater, her right elbow resting on the edge. She gazes straight ahead, her expression calm. A young girl in a white dress sits beside her, holding a bouquet of pink flowers and looking down at a piece of paper. The woman's dress is adorned with a pink flower at the neckline, and she wears white gloves. The background of the painting is dark, with hints of red and gold. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born on 25 February 1841 in Limoges, the son of a tailor and a seamstress.
