The image shows a live circus performance. In the foreground a white horse is seen in flight with a female performer balancing on its back. Two attendants are standing by the horse, while in the background a number of spectators are watching the performance with great interest. The whole scene is in pastel tones and has a dreamy, almost surrealistic quality.

Georges-Pierre Seurat (1859-1891). French Postimpressionist - a pioneer of pointillism who changed the direction of modern art. Sunday Afternoon is one of his most famous and recognized works. His first larger painting was the Bath at Asnieres, which was rejected by the Salon. Seurat therefore decided to become an independent artist. He was interested in colour theory and optics and believed that, through colour, he could bring harmony and emotion to his paintings (just as musicians do).
