"The Opera Mantle" is a painting by the British artist Augustus Leopold Egg, created in the mid-19th century. Augustus Leopold Egg (1816–1863) was a prominent figure in the Victorian art scene, known for his narrative and genre paintings that often explored social issues and moral themes. Egg was a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848, which sought to return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art.

"The Opera Mantle" exemplifies Egg's skill in capturing the intricacies of human emotion and social interaction. The painting depicts a scene set in a lavish interior, likely an opera house or a grand theater, where the central figure, a woman, is adorned in an opulent mantle. The rich textures and vibrant colors of her attire are rendered with meticulous detail, highlighting Egg's mastery of fabric and texture. The woman's expression and posture suggest a narrative that invites viewers to speculate about her story, a common characteristic of Egg's work.

The painting reflects the Victorian era's fascination with the opera as a cultural institution and a site of social display. It also touches upon themes of appearance and reality, as the opera mantle symbolizes both the grandeur and the artifice of high society. Egg's use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect, drawing attention to the central figure while also creating a sense of depth and atmosphere.

"The Opera Mantle" is part of Egg's broader oeuvre that often critiques and comments on the social mores of his time. His works are celebrated for their narrative depth, technical proficiency, and the ability to engage viewers in a dialogue about the human condition. Although not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, Egg's contributions to Victorian art remain significant, and "The Opera Mantle" is a testament to his artistic vision and narrative skill.
