More about this artwork

The painting depicts a bustling scene of leisure by a river with numerous figures spread across a sun-dappled park. On the left, several people sit or recline on the grass, including a man in a blue coat lying on his side, next to whom a woman in a purple dress sits. A small dog stands near them. Another man in a flat cap sits looking over the river, while others, including women in long dresses and bonnets, leisurely stroll or sit in the background. To the right, a prominent woman in a dark dress and bustle stands, observing the scene, and next to her, a small child in a white dress plays. Nearby, another child dressed in brown plays with a hoop. Other people in the background walk along the riverbank, some holding parasols. Further in the distance, people in boats and others in the park engage in various activities.

Georges-Pierre Seurat (1859–1891) was a French artist and painter. Seurat's paintings were known for vibrancy of color and the use of tiny brushstrokes of contrasting colors. His intense interest in line, color, color theory, and optical effects formed the basis of Divisionism, whereas the use of layering small brushstrokes and dots formed the basis of Pointillism. His iconic late 19th-century painting, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" (1884), paved the way for the initiation of Neo-impressionism.

Seurat was only 31 when he died, yet he left behind an influential body of work, comprising seven monumental paintings, hundreds of drawings and sketches, and around 40 smaller-scale paintings and sketches. Although his oeuvre is relatively small in quantity, it had a lasting impact. He was among the first artists to make a systematic and devoted use of color theory, and his technical innovations influenced many of his peers.
