"Voilette" is a charcoal drawing created by Georges Seurat in 1883. The piece is a study of a woman's head, rendered in Seurat's signature pointillist style. The artwork is characterized by small, distinct dots of charcoal, which, when viewed from a distance, create the illusion of a smooth, tonal surface. The focus on light and shadow is evident in the subtle gradations of charcoal used. "Voilette" is part of the Musée d'Orsay collection in Paris, France, and it offers insights into Seurat's exploration of form and composition.
