About the piece

Painted in 1888, this work by Pierre-Auguste Renoir captures a quintessential moment of French leisure at Argenteuil. The composition features two women in a rowing boat and a small dog on a wooden pier, rendered with the rapid, dappled brushstrokes and luminous palette that define the Impressionist movement.
