1887
Ink and pencil on paper
12.5×19.0cm

In 1887, Georges Seurat expressed artificial lights in the night scene through an oil painting of a parade of Colvi Circus attracting people's attention titled "La Parade" (owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art). In this "Ensemble," which is about 1/8 the size of "La Parade" and is divided into 4 horizontally and 6 vertically with a pencil, a trombone player, the leader with a whip, members of the band and audience line up in order under the gas light. Therefore, this picture, where almost the same scene is drawn only with minute ink dots, is one of the last studies for "La Parade" as the only pointillistic sketch with its final composition.
