"Soldats, les mains dans les poches, tête et mains (Carnet de Brest)" is a drawing by French Post-Impressionist artist Georges Seurat, known for his pioneering technique of pointillism. This work, which translates to "Soldiers, Hands in Pockets, Head and Hands (Brest Sketchbook)" in English, is part of a series of studies that Seurat conducted during his military service in Brest, a port city in Brittany, France, from 1879 to 1880. The drawing is executed in Conté crayon, a medium favored by Seurat for its precision and tonal range, on paper.

The piece is notable for its depiction of military life and the artist's focus on the human figure, themes that are less commonly associated with Seurat's later, more famous works that primarily concentrate on leisure activities and landscape scenes. In "Soldats, les mains dans les poches, tête et mains," Seurat captures the casual stance and informal grouping of soldiers, reflecting a moment of rest or inactivity. The work is characterized by Seurat's attention to form and light, with the soldiers' uniforms and the play of shadows hinting at the artist's developing interest in the optical effects that would later define his pointillist paintings.

As part of Seurat's early oeuvre, this drawing provides insight into his artistic development and the observational skills he honed during his time in the military. The Brest sketchbook, which includes this drawing, is considered a significant record of Seurat's formative years and his exploration of the human figure in space. "Soldats, les mains dans les poches, tête et mains" is not only a valuable piece of Seurat's artistic legacy but also a document of the daily life of French soldiers in the late 19th century.

The drawing is held in various art collections, and its provenance, exhibition history, and critical reception contribute to its importance in the study of Seurat's body of work. As with many of Seurat's drawings, this piece is appreciated for its technical mastery and the way it foreshadows the artist's later preoccupation with the science of color and the systematic approach to painting that would revolutionize the art world at the turn of the century.
