Label TextFarrer was born in London, but immigrated to the United States in 1863. His older brother, Thomas, was associated with and influenced by John Ruskin and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Henry's work reveals similar inspiration. Although he spent most of his adult life in America, Farrer's interpretation of the American landscape emerges from a distinctly Pre-Raphaelite vocabulary of careful observation and recording of the natural world. Here, in the sinuous bleakness of leafless trees and the lonely figure gathering twigs for hearth fuel, he captures the atmospheric essence of a December day.
