Anyone know this artist?
 
Our GD took a photo of this painting at Musee D’Orsay. I’d like to include it in her photo album.
I’m not familiar with the artist but it must have been something she liked.https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fod...33c81b110.jpeg

Anyone know the artist?

Per a quick google search: The Circus Painting by Georges Seurat.

Yep -- sassy nailed it!

Sassy beat me to it . . . One of my favorite artists . . .

There are several Seurat's in London too - I think at least a dozen in the National Gallery alone.

There was even a postage stamp of that painting in 1969.

That is The Circus - an oil on canvas painting. It was painted by Georges Seurat in 1891 and the painting is located at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
