"Rosenkrans Ferry" by J.H. Macpherson (1971): In a serene autumn landscape painted with warm tones, a wooden ferry carries an early 20th-century car along with three individuals across a gentle river. The trees on the riverbank are vibrant, displaying shades of orange and gold, which reflect beautifully on the water’s surface. One man stands at the forefront, holding a pole to maneuver the flat-bottomed ferry, while another man stands nearby, looking outward. Meanwhile, a woman remains seated in the car, poised for the journey ahead.
