'''Young Woman Powdering Herself (Study)''' is a preparatory sketch by the French post-impressionist artist Georges Seurat, created as part of the process leading to his larger and more famous painting, ''Young Woman Powdering Herself''. The study is an example of Seurat's exploration of pointillism, a technique he developed alongside Paul Signac, which involves the application of small, distinct dots of color to form an image. This method was a hallmark of Neo-Impressionism, a movement that sought to bring a more scientific approach to the spontaneity of Impressionism.

The study depicts a woman, identified as Seurat's mistress Madeleine Knobloch, engaged in the intimate act of powdering her face. The composition focuses on the figure, capturing a moment of everyday life with a sense of privacy and introspection. Seurat's studies were crucial to his process, allowing him to experiment with color, light, and form before committing to the final canvas. The sketch is characterized by its loose and more expressive application of paint compared to the precise dot technique found in the finished work.

''Young Woman Powdering Herself (Study)'' offers insight into Seurat's artistic process and provides a contrast to the meticulously crafted final version, ''Young Woman Powdering Herself'', which is held in the Courtauld Gallery, London. The study itself is a valuable piece for understanding the evolution of Seurat's technique and the careful planning that underpinned his compositions. It is also significant for its revelation of the personal relationship between the artist and his model, which was discreetly referenced in the final painting through the inclusion of Seurat's own self-portrait in the background, a detail initially absent in the study.

The study is an important work within the oeuvre of Georges Seurat and continues to be studied and exhibited as an example of the artist's working methods and his contribution to the development of modern art.
