About the piece
Painted in 1907 by Edmund Charles Tarbell, this work exemplifies the Boston School's interest in interior light and domestic tranquility. The subject, a woman delicately adjusting her hat before a matinee, is rendered with a soft, luminous touch that highlights the textures of lace and silk against a muted, atmospheric background.
