House at Dusk 1881 - 1882

"House at Dusk" is a charcoal drawing created between 1881 and 1882 by French artist Georges Seurat. The work depicts a house with a single chimney against a twilight sky, showcasing Seurat's early use of tonal shading and simplification of form. This drawing represents a transitional period for Seurat, who later developed his signature Pointillist technique. While still rooted in realism, this piece hints at the artist's growing interest in abstracting form and focusing on light and shadow.
