"The Seine at Asnières" (also known as "The Skiff") is an oil painting by the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, completed in 1879. This work is one of Renoir's earlier masterpieces, created during the period when he was closely associated with the Impressionist movement. The painting measures 71 x 92 cm and is part of the collection at the National Gallery in London.

The scene depicted in "The Seine at Asnières" captures a leisurely moment on the Seine River, near the town of Asnières, just outside Paris. The painting is characterized by Renoir's vibrant light and color, which reflect the influence of Impressionism, a movement that sought to capture the transient effects of light and atmosphere. The composition features a skiff, a type of light rowing boat, gently moored on the calm waters of the Seine, with a figure seated at the stern. The riverbank and the leisure activities of other figures can be seen in the background, conveying a sense of relaxation and enjoyment of the outdoors.

Renoir's technique in this painting is notable for its loose brushwork and the play of light on the water's surface, which creates a shimmering effect that was innovative at the time. The artist's use of color and his ability to capture the warmth of the sunlight exemplify his contribution to the Impressionist movement and his mastery of plein air painting.

"The Seine at Asnières" is considered an important work in Renoir's oeuvre, as it illustrates his transition from a more traditional approach to a distinctly Impressionist style. The painting is not only a reflection of the leisurely lifestyle of the Parisian middle class in the late 19th century but also an example of the technical and aesthetic developments that were central to Impressionism. As such, it has been widely studied and admired for its historical significance and its embodiment of the Impressionist ethos.
