Regatta at Molesey near Hampton Court is an 1874 painting by Alfred Sisley, now in the Musée d'Orsay, to which it was allocated in 1986.[1] It was left to the French state by the painter and collector Gustave Caillebotte in 1894, and previously hung in the Musée du Luxembourg (1896-1929), the main building at the Louvre (1929-1947), and the Louvre's galerie du Jeu de Paume (1947-1986).[2]

The work shows the Molesey Regatta, begun by an amateur sportsman in 1873 and still in existence. Sisley produced it during a four-month stay in England,[3] funded and accompanied by his patron the art collector Jean-Baptiste Faure.[4] Paradoxically, in usually cloudier England, Sisley's paintings became brighter and more festive.[5]
