Georges Seurat never created that many works as other artists might have. He not only had a short career, but often spent an entire year on studying, making sketches and finally creating the painting how he wanted it itself. For example, Seurat's 'A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte' was proceded by more than 200 drawings and oil studies.
