It is an example of Dutch Golden Age painting and is now in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.. This painting was owned by Jacques Goudstikker and was restituted to his heirs in 2006.<ref>[https://rkd.nl/explore/images/17034 River Landscape with Ferry] in the RKD</ref>
Jacques Goudstikker was a Jewish art dealer whose works were seized and taken to Germany after his death as part of war booty. The painting was restituted to the Netherlands after the war (RCE). It was lent by the RCE to various museums on long-term loans before being given to the Rijksmuseum in 1960, where it had featured in its Gallery of Honor for years. The painting was selected as one of 120 highlights in the booklet ''120 Paintings from the Rijksmuseum''.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/album120tableaux00rijkuoft#page/n52/mode/1up 2083A4] in the "Album: 120 (Tableaux du) / (Schilderijen uit het) / Paintings from the Rijksmuseum", Opening hours and table of titles of 120 black & white illustrations of paintings in English, Dutch, and French, paperback tourist guide c. 1950-1990, Rijksmuseum Amsterdam</ref>
In 2006 it was finally restituted to the Goudstikker heirs and since 2007 it has been part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art. It was part of an exhibition ''Reclaimed: paintings from the collection of Jacques Goudstikker'' in 2008.<ref>[http://www.codart.nl/exhibitions/details/1723/ Article] on codart</ref>
This scene is similar to other river landscape paintings Ruisdael made in this period and these often served as inspiration for later painters of landscape. <gallery> File:Salomon van Ruisdael 002.jpg|Alte Pinakothek, 1639 File:Rivierlandschap met een veerboot Rijksmuseum SK-C-1698.jpeg|Rijksmuseum, 1649 File:Salomon van Ruysdael - Paisagem Fluvial com Balsa Transportando Animais.jpg|São Paulo Museum of Art, c. 1650 </gallery>
