Landscape with Houses 1881 - 1882

"Landscape with Houses" is a charcoal drawing created by the French artist Georges Seurat in 1881-1882. It depicts a rural scene of houses, with the dark foreground accented by lighter tones of gray, brown, and white. The drawing is composed of a series of short, fine strokes, a technique known as "pointillism" that was a precursor to Seurat's later work in chromoluminarism, a style that used a divisionist technique of color.
