Ferry Boat
1930

A black and white illustration depicting three women seated side by side on a bench, possibly on a ferry or ship, with a city skyline and industrial cranes in the background. The woman on the left wears a cloche hat and a sleeveless dress, looking down with a slight smile. The middle woman is larger, dressed in a dark outfit with a hat adorned with a bow, holding a handkerchief and looking off to the side. The woman on the right, dressed in a nun's habit, is reading a small book and holding a rosary. The scene conveys a sense of casual travel and varied personal experiences.
