Model in Profile by Georges Seurat, made around 1885–1886, is a portrait showing a model in profile, immersed in a study of light and colour. Seurat uses his Pointillist technique, applying small dots of pure colour that blend optically, creating a vibrant, luminous surface. The figure, rendered with attention to proportion and posture, appears serene and composed, while the profile accentuates the lines of the face and the grace of the silhouette.
The neutral, sober background brings out the figure, focusing attention on the forms and tones of the face and body. The work reflects Seurat’s interest in the scientific representation of light and colour, combined with a careful study of anatomy and of the stillness of the human figure. Model in Profile is an example of the artist’s skill in turning a simple subject into a rigorous, harmonious study of form and light.
