Description

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'cat':list('aabbc'), 
                    'v':range(5)}, dtype=object)
df.groupby('cat').boxplot(subplots=False, column='v')

results in the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

    return plot_backend.boxplot_frame_groupby(

    raise KeyError(f"None of [{key}] are in the [{axis_name}]")
KeyError: "None of [MultiIndex([('a', 'v'),\n            ('b', 'v'),\n            ('c', 'v')],\n           )] are in the [columns]"

Issue Description

This might be related to #16748

Expected Behavior

The same as:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'cat':list('aabbc'), 
                    'v':range(5)})
df.groupby('cat').boxplot(subplots=False, column='v')
