Steamboat Travel on the Hudson River

Pavel Petrovich Svinin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Steamboat with a black hull, and a yellow and blue side panel. The boat has a tall pole with ropes running across. There are people on the deck. An American flag flies from the right. The boat sails through dark choppy water between two cliffs; one on the right has an American flag. A mountain range extends across the horizon under a cloudy gray sky.
