Who is Jean-Louis Forain?

A Loge at the Opera

George Moore in center-right of the picture, three-quarter length in profile, turned to his right, in evening dress and top hat. Three unidentified men and a woman in the center and left of the picture.

A scholarly expert on the artist, Lillian Browse, suggested that the painting dates from about 1880 and that the figure of Moore is not Moore.
