While on a late-summer vacation on the River Avon in England, Sargent painted A Boating Party. He experimented with Impressionist composition and technique during the extended vacation with his sister Violet and friends Paul and Alice Helleu. He had not yet mastered using broken brushstrokes, as evidenced by the incomplete background in the top right. Still, his assurance can be seen in the placement of the figures, the reflections in the water, and the asymmetrical arrangement of the boats. Sargent uses the skinny leg of Paul Helleu to anchor the flat red punt in the frame, which displays an entertaining sense of photographic cropping.
