Capsule x Litchfield: Reflections

An untitled work from Henry Farny is one of the highlighted lots in the upcoming Capsule x Litchfield: Reflections sale, presented by Capsule Auctions. This 1896 piece shows a Native American on horseback near a water body. Originally from Alsace Lorraine, France, Farny’s family moved to the United States when he was five years old and settled in Western Pennsylvania. They lived closely with the Seneca people, which attracted Farny’s interest in Indigenous culture. Throughout his life, Farny centered his work on Native Americans, which won him great popularity and acclaim.

The auction offers over 200 lots of fine art pieces, including works by Belmore Browne, George Chambers, and Louis Moeller. Browne’s Untitled (Mountain Scene) is among the key lots in the sale.
