Young Woman Powdering Herself (Study) is a 1895 oil by Georges Seurat, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The painting depicts a young woman in a blue dress, standing in front of a mirror. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she is holding a powder puff in her right hand. The background is a soft, muted color. The woman's face is blurred, and her features are not clearly defined. The overall effect of the painting is one of softness and subtlety, with the use of muted colors and blurred lines creating a sense of calmness.
