-Henry François Farny  was an American painter known for his depictions of Native American life and landscapes of the American West. Influenced by his childhood experiences and travels in the American frontier, Farny's paintings often portrayed the daily activities, rituals, and ceremonies of Indigenous peoples with a romanticized and sentimental approach. He was particularly noted for his ability to capture the beauty of the Western landscape and the dignity of Native American culture. Farny's works were popular during his lifetime and contributed to the romanticized image of the American West prevalent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
