The Pontoon at Argenteuil 1886

"The Pontoon at Argenteuil" is a painting by French Impressionist artist Gustave Caillebotte, completed in 1886. The painting depicts a pontoon on the Seine River at Argenteuil, France. It was a popular destination for Parisians to escape the city and enjoy leisure activities. Caillebotte's use of light and color, along with his unique perspective from a high vantage point, captures the atmosphere of a sunny day at the river. The pontoon is the focal point of the painting, with its pale yellow structure contrasted against the blue water.
