How Seurat designed [The Model] in Barnes Foundation

In the previous blogg I have shown that the central nude in [the model] by Seurat are mostly made of the arcs of two types of circles, which makes harmony.

It is easy to guess how he started.
The pink circle which makes the left thumb of the central nude passes through the center of the picture.

I make the circle-cross model.

Obviously the blue circles make the basic stfucture.
So I make blue purple circle model.

Secondly I make  red circle-cross model which shows how Seurat created harmonious sense.

Though Cezanne is likely to have rediscovered the technique by himself Seurat possibly got the hint from the study of classical painting.
