"The Stone Breaker" (1882), by Georges Seurat, depicts a worker breaking stones in an outdoor setting. Seurat, known for his groundbreaking pointillist technique, utilizes short, distinct brushstrokes to create a textured and vibrant image. This painting, while depicting a simple task, captures the essence of labor and the beauty of the natural world, showcasing Seurat's evolving style before his later masterpieces.
