The black bow 1882

"The Black Bow" is a charcoal drawing by Georges Seurat, created in 1882. It is a small, intimate work that captures the figure of a woman in profile, her head bowed, her form barely discernible against the dark background. The use of charcoal creates a sense of depth and mystery, and the figure's simple silhouette evokes a sense of solitude and introspection. This work is currently on display at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, and is a fascinating example of Seurat's early work in the Pointillist style.
