A Ferry Scene on the Susquehanna at Wright's Ferry, near Havre de Grace 1811 - 1816

"A Ferry Scene on the Susquehanna at Wright's Ferry, near Havre de Grace" is a watercolor painting by Pavel Petrovich Svinin, a Russian artist who travelled extensively throughout the United States in the early 19th century. Created between 1811 and 1816, this intimate depiction of a ferry crossing the Susquehanna River captures the natural beauty of the American landscape. The scene is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, showcasing the rocky riverbed, the lush greenery of the surrounding hills, and the figures of travelers navigating the waters in a flatboat. The painting is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
