How does this artwork elucidate its Commissioning?
In the Loge was one of Cassatt's first pieces to be presented in the United States, when it was exhibited in Boston in 1878. The work remained in the possession of the artist's family until 1893 or 1894, when Cassatt sold it to Martin, Camentron, and Company in Paris. The painting entered the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1910.
