SEURAT, Georges
(b. 1859, Paris, d. 1891, Paris)

Seated Female Nude

1886-87
Oil on panel, 25 x 16 cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris

This small panel is a study for the large painting The Models. In the studies to The Models, Seurat affords a glimpse of his studio and the artist's work. Waiting amidst discarded clothing, or dressing, these lean and altogether unerotic nudes are related to the completed Grand Jatte.
