Final Study for Bathers at Asnières, 1884

Georges Seurat

Oil on canvas · 201 x 301.5 cm

Factory workers cool off by the Seine in Seurat's early dotted technique.

Working men and boys laze by the Seine in the industrial suburbs, bathed in flat, hazy sunlight. Seurat's calm, monumental early masterpiece gives ordinary Parisian leisure the stillness of a fresco — quiet, warm and beautifully composed.
