Summary

Description
English: This landscape of a ferry, perhaps the historic McCalls Ferry Farm on the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, was painted by Herman Herzog. The painting depicts men guiding a ferry loaded with horses to a landing along the river bank, with mountains looming on the other side of the water. Herzog was a German-born artist who studied at the Dusseldorf Academy before settling in Philadelphia. He is often considered a part of the Hudson River School movement. This painting was acquired for the White House Collection by the White House Historical Association in 1975.
Date 1875-1880
