The enthusiastic water sportsman Caillebotte participated in regattas and designed sailboats. He often painted boats, as seen here on the shore of his residence in Petit-Gennevilliers, with a view towards Argenteuil. In doing so, he moved away from his perspectively structured Paris cityscapes. The paintings of the Seine, like the works of Monet and Renoir, exhibit free brushstrokes.
