"Willows by the Yerres" (French: "Saules au bord de l'Yerres") is an oil painting by the French artist Gustave Caillebotte, created in 1876. As a member of the Impressionist movement, Caillebotte was known for his keen observation of light and its effects on the landscape, as well as his interest in modern urban life and the leisure activities of the Parisian bourgeoisie. This painting, however, diverges from the urban scenes for which he is most famous, capturing instead the tranquility of the countryside.

Measuring 154.9 by 117.5 cm, "Willows by the Yerres" is a testament to Caillebotte's fascination with water and its reflective properties, a theme that recurs throughout his oeuvre. The Yerres River, located southeast of Paris, provided a serene setting for Caillebotte's exploration of natural light and the interplay of shadows. In this work, the artist depicts a scene of willow trees gently arching over the calm waters of the Yerres, their reflections mingling with the dappled sunlight on the river's surface.

The composition of "Willows by the Yerres" is characterized by its verticality and the contrast between the willows' delicate foliage and the solid, mirror-like water below. Caillebotte's use of perspective and his careful rendering of the trees' textures demonstrate his academic training, while the loose brushwork and attention to light effects align him with the Impressionists.

This painting is part of a series of works Caillebotte created at his family estate in Yerres, where he spent time between 1875 and 1878. During this period, he produced numerous landscapes that capture the essence of the area's natural beauty. "Willows by the Yerres" is notable for its serene atmosphere and the artist's skillful handling of the landscape genre, which stands in contrast to the bustling Parisian scenes that largely define his legacy.

"Willows by the Yerres" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, contributing to the understanding of Caillebotte's work beyond his urban subjects and highlighting his versatility as an artist. The painting is an important piece within Caillebotte's body of work, offering insight into his personal connection to the French countryside and his broader contributions to the Impressionist movement.
