A Ferry Scene on the Susquehanna at Wright's Ferry, near Havre de Grace
The image depicts a river scene with a boat in the foreground. The boat is flat and brown, with a pointed bow and stern, and has several people on board. There are two horses on the boat, one is standing and the other is being led by a person. A horse-drawn carriage is on the boat. The people on the boat are wearing old-fashioned clothing, including hats. The river is blue and has several large rocks protruding from the water. In the background, there are mountains and trees on both sides of the river. The sky is cloudy and blue. The mountains in the background have a rocky cliff face. The cliff face is light-colored and has a rough texture. There are trees and bushes growing on the sides of the mountains. The overall atmosphere suggests a daytime setting with overcast conditions.
