Thomas Charles Farrer

He learned drawing in a free school established in London by John Ruskin, and came to New York in 1858, where he was a successful painting instructor.

Among his works exhibited at the National Academy in New York City were "Field-Lily" and "Twilight on the Hudson" (1867); "Beach at Hastings" and "English Farm" (1871); "Caernarvon Castle, Wales" and "Interior of St. Mark's, Venice" (1872); "Sunset" (1875); "Yorkshire Trout Stream," "Coming through the Lock," and "Rochester Castle" (1878).

T. C. Farrar's brother Henry Farrer (born in London, 23 March 1843; died 1903) was a painter and etcher.

Henry came to New York in 1863, where he first gained distinction for his watercolors, and afterward was highly regarded as a landscape painter.

He was a member of the New York Etching Club and of the American Society of Painters in Watercolors.
