More Information
In the early 1880s Seurat worked almost exclusively on paper, observing Parisians of all types. Like many of his drawings from this period, this one of people grouped around a brilliantly-lit table presents a moody silhouette at the expense of detail, summoning up feelings of both intimacy and isolation.
