Men Laying Stakes 1883

"Men Laying Stakes" is an oil painting created by Georges Seurat in 1883. The artwork depicts three men working along a riverbank in a forest setting. The painting is a typical example of Seurat's Pointillist style, characterized by small dots of color applied to the canvas to create the illusion of form and depth. The use of contrasting colors and the meticulous placement of brushstrokes create a sense of vibrancy and energy in the scene. The painting captures the simple beauty of labor and the everyday life of working-class people. The work is now in a private collection and its exact dimensions are unknown.
