It describes a landscape flooded with water. It is about a popular urban swimming spot near Paris, frequented by Claude Monet and Renoir, where they spent time comparing their compositions and practicing the depiction of light on water. They competed to see who could capture it with greater eloquence. Renoir's version is made with shorter and faster brushstrokes, using the colors straight from the paint tube. For his contemporaries, this painting was unfinished; however, today it is considered a classic example of Impressionism.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born in 1841 in the city of Limoges, France. From an early age, he showed a natural talent for drawing and color, soon turning to painting — the art form in which he would find his purest expression. Alongside figures such as Monet, Degas, and Sisley, Renoir was part of the Impressionist movement, a group that revolutionized 19th-century painting by breaking academic rules and embracing light, spontaneity, and the emotion of the moment.
