"The Black Cape (1901-1904)" is a painting by American modernist artist Alfred Henry Maurer (1868–1932). Known for his avant-garde style and as a pioneer of modernism in American art, Maurer's work in this period reflects a transition from his earlier, more traditional style to a bolder, more experimental approach influenced by his exposure to European modernist movements.

The painting depicts a solitary figure cloaked in a black cape, set against a background that is typically muted in tone, which was characteristic of Maurer's work during the early 1900s. The subject's pose and the treatment of the fabric suggest an exploration of form and a departure from strict representational accuracy. The use of light and shadow in "The Black Cape" demonstrates Maurer's skill in creating depth and texture, a technique that would become more pronounced in his later Fauvist-inspired pieces.

Created after Maurer's return to the United States from an extended stay in Paris, where he was deeply influenced by the works of the Post-Impressionists and the growing Fauvist movement, "The Black Cape" marks a significant point in his artistic evolution. The painting is often noted for its synthesis of traditional portraiture with emerging modernist sensibilities, capturing the tension between the old and the new that defined much of Maurer's oeuvre.

"The Black Cape" is considered an important work in understanding the trajectory of American modernism and Maurer's role within it. The painting is held in high regard for its historical significance as well as its aesthetic qualities, representing a moment of change not only in the artist's career but also in the broader context of American art at the turn of the 20th century.
