The ferry

About this work

This painting shows a group of people in old-fashioned clothes standing on a dock, looking out at the water. They're all dressed up, with the women wearing big hats and holding parasols. The man in the boat is wearing a cap and holding oars. The colors are muted, with lots of browns and grays. The painting has a lot of detail, like the way the light reflects off the water. You can see the texture of the wood on the dock and the fabric of the people's clothes. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of artist E. Phillips Fox.
