The Ferryboat 17th century

"The Ferryboat" is a 17th-century drawing by Dutch artist Hendrick Avercamp, known for his depictions of winter landscapes and scenes of daily life. The drawing, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a ferryboat with numerous figures aboard, navigating across a frozen canal. The scene is set against a backdrop of a small village and trees. Avercamp's meticulous detail in capturing the figures, the frozen water, and the distant village creates a vivid and atmospheric portrayal of Dutch life in the 17th century.
