"Child in White" is a charcoal drawing created in 1884 by the renowned French Post-Impressionist painter Georges Seurat, best known for his pointillist technique. This early work showcases Seurat's mastery of charcoal, using subtle shading and tonal variations to depict a child in a white garment against a dark background, creating a sense of mystery and contemplation. While Seurat is famous for his vibrant color palette and pointillist style, this drawing demonstrates his skilled use of monochrome to create a visually captivating and thought-provoking image.
