Man Leaning on a Parapet ☲ Seurat ☴ Canvas

A Man Leaning on a Parapet (1881) by Georges Seurat appears as "panel no. 1." in the studio inventory made after his death in 1891 at age 31. As one of his earliest works, the composition reveals his talent for carefully calibrated light effects, bold silhouettes, and flat, geometric forms. It depicts a man leaning on a wall overlooking the Seine, an early motif of solo figures absorbed in thought or engaged in labor. Just visible through the leaves is the dome of the Institut de France, across the Seine from the Louvre.

⿴ About Stretched Canvas

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.

⿻ Materials

Giclée printed with eco-solvent inks to resist fading for over 100 years

Canvases are archival-grade, acid-free, satin-finish polycotton fabric

Frames and stretcher bars are solid wood with black backboard and hanging wire installed
