"Boaters on the Yerres" (French: "Périssoires sur l'Yerres") is an 1877 oil painting by the French Impressionist artist Gustave Caillebotte. The painting captures a leisurely scene of boating on the Yerres River, a subject that Caillebotte returned to multiple times, reflecting his personal affinity for water sports and his family's property in Yerres, a suburb of Paris. Measuring 155.5 by 115.5 centimeters, the work is known for its unique perspective and the play of light on water, characteristic of Impressionist concerns with capturing the transient effects of light and movement.

In "Boaters on the Yerres," Caillebotte employs a high vantage point to look down upon the boaters, which creates a sense of immediacy and intimacy with the subject. The composition is notable for its cropped framing, a technique influenced by photography, and its attention to the reflections and ripples in the water, which demonstrate Caillebotte's interest in the interplay between nature and the figures within it. The artist's use of clear, fluid brushstrokes to render the water's surface contrasts with the more detailed treatment of the figures and boats, showcasing his technical versatility and his ability to convey texture and depth.

As a member of the Impressionist movement, Caillebotte contributed to the development of modern art by exploring new approaches to composition and perspective. However, his style often leaned towards a more realistic representation compared to some of his contemporaries. "Boaters on the Yerres" is a testament to Caillebotte's skill in blending Impressionist techniques with a realist eye, making it a significant work within his oeuvre and the broader Impressionist canon.

The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, allowing the public to appreciate Caillebotte's contribution to the Impressionist movement. As with many of his works, "Boaters on the Yerres" provides insight into the leisure activities of the Parisian middle class in the late 19th century, a theme that Caillebotte explored throughout his career.
