Georges Seurat: The Ladies' Man (L'Homme à femmes), Georges Seurat, 1890, Oil on panel, This little oil painting was a study for the cover of 'L'Homme à femmes,' an 1890 novel by Polish writer Victor Joze. Seurat pictures the story's laughable main character--a struggling novelist who, rather than working on his writing, spends his time chasing women and getting embroiled in one scandal after another. Phallic cane in hand, the top-hatted figure stands with silly confidence as a flock of admiring women gathers behind him., Overall: 9 13/16 x 6 5/16 in. (25 x 16 cm)
