Two Stonebreakers c. 1881

"Two Stonebreakers" is an oil on canvas painting created by Georges Seurat around 1881. Seurat, a French post-Impressionist artist known for his pointillist technique, captures the figures of two workers engaged in breaking stones. The use of short, distinct brushstrokes in a palette of greens, browns, and blues suggests a sense of movement and light, characteristic of his style. The painting's subject matter reflects Seurat's interest in social commentary, highlighting the physical labor of working-class individuals.
