Der Steinklopfer

Georges Seurat, um 1882

In this painting, short, angular brushstrokes suggest a person in motion. The person is bent over, facing the left, raising a large, thin object over one shoulder. They have pinkish skin and wear a white shirt and blue pants with a black hat. Their facial features are undefined. The person is surrounded by yellow brushstrokes that resemble piles of hay or dry grass, while the background behind the yellow piles is made of dark green tones. The painting is made of thick, overlapping brushstrokes in different shades, giving it a hazy appearance.
