About this work

This painting shows a waterfront cityscape with a mix of boats and buildings. A ferry with a red roof sits in the middle, while a sailboat glides to the right. The shore has low, colorful buildings and a tall, pointed tower in the distance. The sky is soft and pale, with a few clouds. The title at the bottom reads *New York from the 34th Street Ferry*, and the artist’s name is signed in the corner. The style looks simple but lively, with flat colors and clean lines.
