- The canvas print: A printed canvas, which should not be confused with a painting on a canvas, is an image printed on an industrial printer. It creates the extra look of three dimensionality. Your canvas of this artwork will give you the unique chance to turn your customized into a large collection piece like you would see in a gallery. A canvas print has the great advantage of being relatively low in weight. This means, it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without the help of additional wall-mounts. Hence, canvas prints are suitable for any kind of wall.

Please bear in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm around the print motif, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
Important information: We try the best we can to describe our art products with as many details as possible and to display them visually on the respective product detail pages. Nonetheless, the tone of the print materials and the imprint might differ slightly from the presentation on your monitor. Depending on your settings of your screen and the quality of the surface, color pigments can unfortunately not be printed one hundret percent realistically. Since our art prints are printed and processed by hand, there might also be slight deviations in the size and exact position of the motif.

In the studio inventory made following Seurat’s death, this painting appears as "panel no. 1." It is among the artist’s earliest works, and it can be related to depictions that Seurat made about 1880–81 of single figures absorbed in thought or in labor. The composition reveals his incipient talent for carefully calibrated light effects, bold silhouettes, and flat, geometric forms. Just visible through the leaves is the dome of the Institut de France, across the Seine from the Louvre in Paris.
