Luncheon of the Boating Party by Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Renoir's famous 'Luncheon of the Boating Party' is a combination of both landscape, still-life and figure painting, with the subject being a group of Renoir's close friends having lunch at Maison Fournaise, a restaurant that still exists on the banks of the river Seine, just west of Paris. A notable member of the group, with the black top hat and his back turned to the viewer, is Charles Ephrussi. Charles was an art critic and patron of multiple of the French Impressionists, and a member of one of the wealthiest families on earth at the time.
