The setting for Skiffs is the artist's family estate at Yerres, a suburb southeast of Paris, where he was finding a temporary muse in fishing, swimming and other water sports. A neo-impressionist who shared his predecessors' commitment to realism, Caillebotte tended to borrow and experiment, cross-pollinating the ideas of his contemporaries rather than committing to a fixed style of his own. The National Gallery notes the manner in which "he adopted the short, broken brushstrokes of Monet and the bold palette of Renoir, but achieved a much different effect: as the rowers zig-zag across the canvas in a bold, diagonal rhythm, they convey a sense of movement, a progression in time and space that reveals Caillebotte's interest in photography."
