''Young Woman Powdering Herself'' is a painting by French artist Georges Seurat, completed circa 1889–1890. This work is a notable example of the pointillist technique, which Seurat pioneered. The painting depicts a young woman, identified as Seurat's mistress Madeleine Knobloch, seated at her dressing table and applying powder to her face, a moment of everyday intimacy captured with meticulous attention to the play of light and color.

Seurat's use of small, distinct dots of color applied in patterns to form an image was a radical departure from traditional methods of painting. This technique, known as pointillism or divisionism, is a hallmark of Neo-Impressionism, a movement that sought to bring a scientific approach to the use of color and form in art. In ''Young Woman Powdering Herself'', Seurat's application of this method results in a richly textured surface that shimmers with a luminous quality, demonstrating his mastery of the interplay between color and light.

The painting is also significant for its blend of modernity and timelessness. While it captures a private, contemporary scene, Seurat's composition and the subject's pose echo classical portraiture, creating a bridge between the present and the past. The work is further distinguished by its complex history; X-ray analysis has revealed that Seurat originally painted his own self-portrait in the background, which he later overpainted with a vase of flowers, possibly to make the piece more marketable or acceptable to a wider audience.

''Young Woman Powdering Herself'' is housed in the Courtauld Gallery, London, and remains an important piece in the study of late 19th-century French painting, offering insight into Seurat's personal life and the evolution of his artistic practice. The painting continues to be celebrated for its technical brilliance and its subtle, yet profound commentary on the nature of representation and the role of the artist in society.
