Foal 1882 - 1883

"Foal" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Georges Seurat, created between 1882 and 1883. The drawing depicts a foal standing in a field with trees in the background. Seurat's signature use of short, parallel lines, known as "pointillism," can be seen in the depiction of the foal's form and the surrounding landscape. The simplicity of the composition and the use of light and shadow highlight Seurat's interest in capturing natural forms with precision and detail.
