Painted about 1875, Renoir did this piece in Chatou, west of Paris on the Seine.The setting is the terrace of a restaurant on an island in the river. It was, as the placard says, a popular meeting place for recreational rowers.
Renoir was friendly with the owners of the restaurant. One of the subjects has been identified as Monsieur de Lauradour, a regular at the restaurant. He is the figure at the far left.
I very much liked the details of the glasses and bottles.
