Post-Impressionism

Monsieur Boileau at the Café, by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1893
At the Concert Parisien, by Georges Seurat, 1887–88
The image shows two women walking arm in arm, both in traditional attire. One woman is facing away with a slight profile, while the other is seen from the side. Their faces are stylized and simplistic with covered hair. They wear long dresses with aprons and collars, and one has a striped apron. Haystacks and greenery surround them. Faint figures are in the background, as well as a spire-like structure. A dog is seen near the haystack, with simple lines suggesting a landscape.
A work made of oil on vellum.
A work made of graphite on cream laid paper (pieced).
Heavy daubs of pigment form a crowded scene of roughly defined, finely dressed individuals in a brightly color park along a riverbank.
Tahitian Faces (Frontal View and Profiles), by Paul Gauguin, ca. 1899
Study for "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte", by Georges Seurat, 1884
