Aman-Jean (Portrait of Edmond François Aman-Jean), by Georges Seurat, 1882–83
Study for "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte", by Georges Seurat, 1884
The image shows two women walking arm in arm, both in traditional attire. One woman is facing away with a slight profile, while the other is seen from the side. Their faces are stylized and simplistic with covered hair. They wear long dresses with aprons and collars, and one has a striped apron. Haystacks and greenery surround them. Faint figures are in the background, as well as a spire-like structure. A dog is seen near the haystack, with simple lines suggesting a landscape.
