About this work

In this painting, a ferry is depicted crossing the Dnieper River. The ferry is crowded with people and horses, all facing different directions. The sky above is blue with a few clouds. The artist has captured a moment of everyday life in this scene. The people on the ferry seem to be going about their daily business, while the horses appear to be waiting patiently. The river stretches out behind them, meeting the horizon at a slight curve. This painting is held at the National Art Museum of Ukraine.
