Henry Farrer (1843 - 1903) Watercolor on paper, signed lower right, measures . Born in London in 1843, Henry Farrer was the younger brother of Thomas Charles Farrer, who, along with William Trost Richards and a handful of others was a founding member in 1863 of the Association of Advancement of Truth in Art. The organization was based on the principles of Pre-Raphaelite* philosopher and artist John Ruskin, with whom Thomas Farrer had studied drawing at the Working Men's College in London. In fact, the Farrer brothers became leading American 'Ruskinians', as part of the American Pre-Raphaelite movement of the 1860s, 70s and even 80s. Thus, the Farrers are best remembered for their delicate watercolors and etchings, which reveal their Ruskinian attention to detail, close focus, and meticulous brushwork.

Henry Farrer (1844 - 1903), Sunset.
Est: $2,500 - $3,500
Watercolor. 12 x 15 in. A lovely pair with Sunrise, Sunset presents the moment after the sun has dipped below the horizon in a slightly deeper color scheme. The bend in the river catches the richest red-pink hue, while the clouds range from this bold color to gray. In line with the Pre-Raphaelites’ careful naturalistic style, the watercolor allows the viewer to feel immersed deeply in the landscape, centering the beauty of the scene rather than its overt symbolism. Sunrise and Sunset depict two scenes with subtle differences, and the muted colors help unify them elegantly. Farrer’s attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the countryside, as his brushstrokes on the leaves, smaller shrubs, and clouds help introduce the wide variety of textures found in a scene such as this. Reminiscent of New England landscapes in spring and early summer, the cooling scene successfully evokes a tender moment between the viewer and their beautiful surroundings. The watercolor is in excellent condition with lively, well-preserved color and contrast.

Henry Farrer (1844 - 1903), Sunrise.
Est: $2,500 - $3,500
Watercolor. 12 x 15 in. A small, delicate watercolor, Sunrise demonstrates the best qualities of Farrer’s understated landscapes. Even though American Pre-Raphaelites pushed forward a radical subversion of the painting conventions of the time, the common qualities of their visual language were often subtle and keenly focused on naturalism. Sunrise is no exception: the painting captures the moment before the sun appears on the horizon, its red glow emerging from among the parting clouds. Farrer’s skill as a watercolorist allows for this exceptional work to take on a solemn quality: his colors are dense, with dynamic ranges in dark greens and browns. The reflection of the sky on the lake carefully recreates the dewy, fresh moments of early morning, but stops short of a truly dramatic depiction. The influence of author John Ruskin, who recommended that readers and artists alike “go to nature,” is evident in the work. As many Pre-Raphaelites favored inserting allegory in their landscapes, this painting can be interpreted as rebirth and hope for a new day. The watercolor is in excellent condition with lively, well-preserved color and contrast.
