Published by Art Journal

About this Item

The print titled "A Dutch Ferry" is a steel engraving from 1849, created after the work of Sir Augustus Wall Callcott, a distinguished English landscape painter known for his tranquil and picturesque compositions. The engraving was executed by R. Wallis, a skilled engraver celebrated for his precise and detailed work. The scene depicts a serene Dutch riverside setting with a small ferryboat on the left, carrying passengers across calm waters, and a rural landscape featuring lush trees and scattered buildings in the background. In the foreground, a rider on a donkey interacts with others, creating a sense of communal daily life. A few chickens roam freely, adding a rustic charm. The meticulous detail in the foliage and water highlights the technical prowess of both the original artist and the engraver. The print captures the idyllic simplicity of rural life, blending natural beauty with human activity, a hallmark of Callcott's artistic approach.
