The Models

1888
Oil on canvas, 39 x 49 cm
Private collection

The present painting is the small version of the composition. The large version (200 x 250 cm) is in the Barnes Foundation, Merion, Pennsylvania. The lean and altogether unerotic nudes are related to the completed Grand Jatte, which is partly to be seen on the studio wall.
