About the piece

Created in 1890, this work by Georges Seurat demonstrates the masterful application of color theory and pointillism. The composition utilizes a meticulous arrangement of small, distinct dots of color to depict trees and moored boats, framed by the artist's own characteristic painted border which serves to extend the optical experience of the painting.
