About the piece
Painted in 1884, Charles Frederic Ulrich's masterpiece captures the anticipation and weariness of new arrivals at New York's primary immigrant depot. The central figure of a nursing mother provides an emotional anchor amidst the bustling crowd of figures and stacked trunks, all rendered with the meticulous social realist detail characteristic of the period.
