Henry Farny (1847 - 1916)
Days of Long Ago

The high horizon and the shadowy, sheltering trees form an intimate setting for Farny's family group. With the title, Days of Long Ago, Farny wistfully places the scene in some distant, but not specific time. His painting reinforces the idea of Indians living in harmony with nature.
