Les raboteurs de parquet (The Floor Scrapers) is an 1875 oil on canvas painting by French impressionistGustave Caillebotte. Measuring 102 by 146.5 centimetres (40 in × 57.7 in), it depicts three men scraping the floor of what is thought to be Caillebotte's own studio, apparently engaged in conversation. According to the Musée d'Orsay, where the painting is held, this is one of the first paintings to feature the urban working class, and indeed the subject matter proved scandalous at the time.Painting: Gustave Caillebotte
