Painted during the summer of 1877 at his family’s estate in Yerres south of Paris, Skiffs on the Yerres (Les Périssoires) reflects Gustave Caillebotte’s passion for rowing and modern outdoor leisure. Depicting boaters gliding across the tranquil waters of the Yerres River, Caillebotte combined a daring, high-angle perspective with Impressionist luminosity. The brilliant contrast between sun-drenched water reflections, deep forest shadows along the riverbank, and the rhythmic motion of the rowers creates a serene yet invigorating portrayal of 19th-century French country life.
