Models

Models by Georges Seurat, painted in 1888, presents three women in a studio, shown from different angles as they pose. Seurat uses his pointillist technique, applying small dots of color to build the scene, creating a soft yet detailed texture. The painting emphasizes the contrast between the models’ natural forms and the artificiality of the studio setting, with props like drapery and an artist’s easel in view. The models appear calm and detached, their expressions neutral, which adds a quiet tension to the scene. Through his careful composition and color, Seurat blends everyday realism with an almost dreamlike stillness.
