Bathers at Asnières (Study III) is a 1892 oil by Georges Seurat, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
In this painting, we see two men and a horse near a body of water. One man sits on the grassy bank, looking away from us, while the other stands in the water, his arm around the horse's neck. The scene is rendered in a mix of warm and cool colors, with the water and sky taking up most of the background. The artist has used short, broken brushstrokes to create a sense of texture and movement in the painting. This technique gives the scene a sense of energy and life.
