About the piece
Painted in 1886, 'The Models' (Les Poseuses) is a landmark work by Georges Seurat that demonstrates his revolutionary pointillist technique. The composition depicts three figures in a studio, thoughtfully incorporating a portion of Seurat's earlier masterpiece, 'A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte', on the left wall to create a complex dialogue between the art and the artist's environment.
