The Ferry c. 20th century

"The Ferry" is a photographic print by American artist Mary Devens, created in the early 20th century. The image depicts a ferry boat carrying two figures across a body of water. The scene is captured in a minimalist, almost silhouette-like style, with a soft focus emphasizing the sense of movement and mystery. Devens's work often explored the beauty of everyday life and the quiet moments of human experience. This intimate image, held in the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, showcases her keen observation of detail and her subtle yet powerful artistic voice.
