In the foreground, on the right, the painter Gustave Caillebotte is sitting astride on a chair which listens to the actress Ellen Andrée discreetly while the Italian journalist Maggiolo leans on it. Behind them, the small group is formed of the journalist Paul Lhote with a pince-nez, of Eugene-Pierre Lestringuez and the actress Jeanne Samary. In the center, the Angèle model drinks sitted beside a man which one sees just the profile. Behind it is held the Ephrussi financier out of top hat. Behind plane, through willows the Seine gleams on which pass from the sailing ships. Environment is happy and serene. However, Renoir whose financial standing of the time was not brilliant, did not know, when it began this luvre major, if it could finish it. Renoir worked with the "Lunch of the Rowers", from April at July 1881.
