End of the pier, Honfleur is a 1894 oil by Georges Seurat, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
This painting shows a serene scene of a pier at the water's edge. In the foreground, a grassy area with a few flowers and a short pole is visible. A long, dark pier stretches out into the water, with a tall, narrow structure at its end. The water is dotted with several small sailboats, and the sky above is a soft, pale blue. The painting's use of small, distinct dots of color creates a sense of texture and depth. The overall effect is one of calmness and tranquility.
