Renoir joined together, on the terrace of the Inn of the Father Furnace, all his friends and models to take part in this large?uvre. In the foreground, on the left, Aline plays with her puppy. Behind Alphonse Founaise, the owner of the inn is held. Accoudée in rambarde, Alphonsine Furnace, his/her daughter, listens to the Baron Raoul sitted Barbier turned back. 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 seated 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?uvre major, if it could finish it. Renoir worked with the "Lunch of the Rowers", from April July 1881.
