Your description of "A Calm Afternoon, Long Island" captures the essence of what makes Farrer's work so evocative. Farrer was known for his ability to render tranquil scenes with a subtle and delicate touch, particularly through his use of watercolors. The soft, fluid brushstrokes you mention would indeed be key in conveying the serene and reflective mood of the scene. The likely depiction of open fields or a quiet shoreline would evoke the peacefulness and natural beauty of Long Island, making it a perfect representation of the calm suggested by the title. Through his nuanced handling of light, sky, and water, Farrer would have been able to create a composition that is not only visually pleasing but also emotionally resonant, embodying the quietude and pastoral charm of the landscape.
