About the piece

Created in 1889, this study for Seurat's larger masterpiece 'Le Chahut' showcases the artist's pioneering Pointillist technique. The composition captures the energy of a Parisian dance hall with upward-tilting lines and a meticulous application of pure color dots, complete with an integral painted border that enhances the work's luminous quality.
