Where to See Landscape, Banks of the Yerres in Unknown

Gustave Caillebotte executed this serene river view in the 1870s, depicting the banks of the Yerres River near his family estate. Trees reflect in calm water while soft light filters through foliage. Caillebotte's careful composition balances natural observation with structured design, creating harmony between realism and decoration.

The Yerres property provided Caillebotte with endless subjects during the 1870s, from gardens to water views. These works show him developing his distinctive approach before moving to Paris. The painting remains in a private collection, documenting a peaceful period in the artist's life.

Gustave Caillebotte created this work in the 1870s at his family's property. He painted numerous views of the estate before focusing on urban Parisian subjects.

The Yerres is a small river southeast of Paris where Caillebotte's family owned a country estate. He spent summers there painting gardens, boating scenes, and riverside views that show his early development.

The work remains in a private collection. Caillebotte's Yerres period paintings are less well-known than his famous Parisian street scenes but reveal his technical foundations and personal vision.
