This large picture was a carefully prepared composoition. Others are "Boaters in Chateau" and "Riverside Meal" both painted before "Boater's Meal". The Boater's Meal has more solid colour and better drawing. With a special care, he painted a charming young girl (Aline Charigot) with a flower hat and little dog, how later became his wife.

"Umbrellas" is a street full of people in the rain. He chose soft blue, grey and brown colours. Children and a female tailor are the principle figures. In the 60s, Renoir created "Path through the grass". He reflected the sun on the grass, the forest, the heat and the happiness of the summer, with rich colours.
