Still Life with Hat, Parasol, and Clothes on a Chair 1887

"Still Life with Hat, Parasol, and Clothes on a Chair" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Georges Seurat, created in 1887. This drawing is part of a series of still life studies, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is home to this small, but significant, piece. The study uses Seurat’s signature pointillism, a technique of applying small dots of color to create an image, although this drawing uses charcoal on paper instead of oil on canvas. The artwork is a study of drapery and form.
