Buggy (Manhattan Bridge)

A nostalgic scene from the Gilded Age, set against the backdrop of a grand ferry terminal, a hallmark of New York’s waterfront in the late 19th century. The horse-drawn carriage transports us to a time when New York’s streets buzzed with the clatter of carriages and the energy of a rapidly growing metropolis. This painting not only reflects the charm and grace of the era, but also hints at the complex dynamics of the Gilded Age—a time of immense wealth, rapid progress, and stark contrasts. We imagine the people who rode these streets navigating a world in transformation, much like the city itself.
