Title:
The Washerwoman
Description:
An etching of a woman washing clothes in a basin. This print was created by Henry Farrer.
Henry Farrer was born in London on March 23, 1844 and was an English-born American watercolorist and etcher. He is best known for his landscapes and he studied under John Ruskin and Dante Gabriel Rossetti who were both a part of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Henry was, however, a self taught artist and aligned his style with that of his older brother. He died on February 24, 1903.
