About the piece

Painted in 1874, this work by Pierre-Auguste Renoir captures the tranquil atmosphere of the Seine at Bas-Meudon. The composition features a prominent wash-house boat alongside smaller rowing boats, rendered with the loose, flickering brushwork and luminous palette characteristic of early Impressionism.
