Henry Farrer (1843-1903) was an English born artist who emigrated to the United States and became a prominent figure in the American etching revival of the late 19th century. He was known for his atmospheric landscapes and seascapes, often capturing the subtle play of light and shadow. "Sunset, Gowanus Bay, 1880" is a significant work that reflects Farrer's mastery of the etching medium and his keen observation of the American landscape.
