DescriptionScows or barges with sails on a canal or river. One loading from a horse cart on a low (possibly a tow) path parallel to the water. Barbizon feel, etching revival.
Title is questionable.There is no dock in the image and this is probably not a scene of ships in harbor. Applied by donor or cataloguer?Provenance1977, Glens Falls, NY, The Hyde Collection Trust
