About the piece

Created around 1910 by E. Phillips Fox, this exquisite Impressionist work captures the light-filled charm of an Edwardian summer. The composition features a group of stylishly dressed figures in white gowns and parasols boarding a small ferry, their forms beautifully integrated into the rhythmic, dappled brushwork of the water and stone.
