Recently, in writing about the painter Leon Bonvin I mentioned a work in charcoal by another short-lived French artist, Georges Seurat (1859-1891). And here it is - the little dog guarding the baby carriage.

Jane! Thank you! That's a marvel of simplicity. Charcoal is one of my favourite mediums.
R, you are right, it is marvelous the way the cat and the carriage have such individual presence.
Thanks for this, Jane; I've never seen it.
I had never seen it either, until rummaging through the MOMA website, and I've been to the museum quite often. Seurat had so little time, yet we are fortunate in how much he left to us.
