The Milliner 1885

"The Milliner" (1885) by Paul Signac is a Neo-Impressionist painting depicting a woman working on a hat in a millinery shop. The painting is characterized by the artist's use of pointillism, a technique in which small dots of color are applied to the canvas to create the illusion of light and shade. The scene, full of textures and details, emphasizes the laborious nature of the hat-making process and its significance in everyday life. This painting is housed in the E.G. Bührle Foundation in Zürich, Switzerland.
