The Parquet Planers (The Floor Scrapers)

Les raboteurs de parquet, also known as The Parquet Planers (The Floor Scrapers), is a notable oil painting by French Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte. Measuring 102 by 146.5 centimetres, it exemplifies genre painting by depicting three laborers working floorboards with intense realism and emotional depth. Originally donated in 1894 to the Musée du Luxembourg, the artwork was later moved to the Musée du Louvre in 1929, then to the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume in 1947, and finally to the Musée d'Orsay in 1986. The canvas captures the realism and everyday life characteristic of Impressionism.
