Phillips Collection

Set for a tete a tete with John Sloan.

"Sloan began painting The Wake of the Ferry II in 1907, his second version of this scene. The subject may well have been suggested by Sloan’s ferry trips with his wife from Jersey City to Philadelphia for medical treatments." (from the Phillips web site) What they may have meant was that Sloan was taking the ferry to Jersey City to connect to a train to Philadelphia.
