Seurat kept his relationship with his artist's model Knobloch secret.[3] His relationship to the sitter was concealed when it was exhibited in 1890.[2]
Since the painting was publicly shown, the wall behind the young woman had displayed a bamboo picture frame showing a vase of flowers.[2] In 2014 using advanced image technology, it was revealed that Seurat had painted himself at his easel, the object on the wall is now believed to be a mirror.[4] After showing the painting to a friend, Seurat painted over the portrait with a table and flowers.[2][3] Ironically, this concealed portrait is the only known self-portrait made by Seurat.
The painting is now back on display at the Courtald.

Jeune femme se poudrant est une peinture réalisée en 1889-1890 par le peintre français Georges Seurat[1]. L'œuvre met en scène sa maîtresse Madeleine Knobloch.[it] Giovane donna che si incipria
Giovane donna che si incipria è un'opera realizzata tra il 1889 ed il 1890 circa dal pittore francese Georges-Pierre Seurat. È conservata nella Courtauld Gallery di Londra. Il dipinto raffigura Madeleine Knobloch, amante di Seurat. Inizialmente Seurat voleva inserire un suo ritratto nella finestra a sinistra, intento ad osservare Madeleine, ma quando un amico gli fece notare che ciò poteva destare scalpore, optò per inserire al suo posto il vaso di fiori attualmente visibile.[ru] Пудрящаяся женщина
«Пудрящаяся женщина»[1] (фр. Jeune femme se poudrant) — картина французского художника Жоржа Сёра, написанная в 1889—1890 годах[2]. Полотно, являющееся ярким примером пуантилизма, изображает любовницу художника Мадлен Кноблох[3]. Входит в коллекцию Института искусства Курто и находится в галерее Курто в Лондоне. Впервые картина была выставлена в 1890 году в Салоне Общества независимых художников в Париже, однако более крупное и значительное полотно художника «Канкан» затмило её и критики в то время уделили ей мало внимания[4].Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
