"On the Balcony" is a charcoal drawing by French post-Impressionist artist Georges Seurat. The artwork is a study in light and shadow, featuring a single figure silhouetted against a window with a wrought-iron balcony railing. Seurat's characteristic use of stippling, a technique of creating tonal values by applying dots of color, is evident in the depiction of the figure and the surrounding space. While Seurat is best known for his large-scale paintings, this intimate charcoal drawing offers insight into his artistic process and his interest in the nuances of light and form.
