About the piece

Painted in 1661 by Salomon van Ruysdael, this masterful work captures the lively commerce and tranquil beauty of the Dutch waterways. A ferry loaded with cattle and passengers navigates the foreground, while sailboats glide past a village nestled among trees, all beneath a vast sky of soft, billowing clouds typical of the period's landscape tradition.
