About the piece
Created in 1657 by Salomon van Ruysdael, this painting is a quintessential example of Dutch Golden Age landscape art. The work masterfully balances the detailed textures of the riverside trees with an expansive sky, while the central ferry boat provides a charming focal point of human and animal activity on the water.
