This small oil sketch is Seurat's final preparatory study for his monumental Bathers at Asnières, now in the National Gallery, London. Already the key compositional elements are established: the reclining figures, the river, the factory chimneys in the distance. The fluid handling of this sketch contrasts with the systematic pointillist dots of the finished work.
