A Shop and Two Figures
1882
Before Georges Seurat became the undisputed king of Pointillism, he was just a young artist sketching the streets of Paris with colored pencils. This faint, dreamy drawing shows a shop window—maybe a bakery or fruit stand—with ghostly figures wandering past. The lines are so delicate they look like whispers of yellow, blue, and orange, barely holding onto the paper. It’s a charming reminder that even the masters of scientific color theory started with messy, experimental doodles just trying to catch the fleeting light of the city.
