You see a small oil painting on a thin wood panel with many figures in a park scene. This study is one of many Seurat made for a larger work, and its composition is quite different from the final version. The figures in this sketch were rethought and replaced in the completed work. To learn more about the techniques used in this painting, look into glazing.
