Argenteuil is an 1874 oil on canvas painting by Édouard Manet, first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1875. It is one of Manet's first works to be regarded as a fully Impressionist painting due to its naturalistic style and its bold palette. The painting depicts a sailor and his companion sitting on a mooring dock surrounded by sailboats, the deep blue water of the Seine, and the town of Argenteuil on the far bank. Art historians have described Argenteuil as a response to Claude Monet's depiction of similar subject matter.
