Figures assises

The story

Seated figures arranged in simplified, almost stage-like poses. This 1884 oil study is one of dozens Seurat made for his huge masterpiece A Sunday on La Grande Jatte. Studies like this show how methodically he built that famously calm, geometric scene up from small pieces.
