This artwork is not on display
In his drawings, Seurat frequently employed Conté crayon, a medium that allowed him to achieve rich velvety textures and softly blurred contours. This sheet, one of three by the artist in the Robert Lehman Collection, is a preparatory sketch for one of Seurat's most famous works, "Les Poseuses" (The Models), now in the Barnes Foundation (Marion, Pennsylvania).
The artist until 1891 and probably from the artist's estate in 1891; collection of Maximilien Luce by at least 1903, until at least 1934; possibly with Jacques Rodrigues-Henriques, Paris; consigned by A. & R. Ball, New York to M. Knoedler & Co., New York, on May 2, 1949; sold by Knoedler to Robert Lehman, New York, on June 1, 1949
