| Notes | This drawing is one of several known conté crayon studies for Georges Seurat’s large 1884 oil painting, Bathers at Asnieres (National Gallery, London). For this highly finished drawing, Seurat used his characteristic, toothy Michallet paper, which captured bits of the crayon as it worked across the paper’s surface, leaving minute areas of the sheet void of medium. The overall effect is one that beautifully simulates, in monotone, the flickering qualities of Seurat’s Pointillist canvases. There are no sharp contours in this image: forms are defined by juxtaposed areas of conté tone rather than by line. By filling the entire sheet with the figure’s head and upper torso and sharply cropping the boy’s elbow and hat, Seurat isolated the figure both physically and psychologically—an effect that he transferred to the finished canvas.[1] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
