"The Ambush" is a notable painting by the French-born American artist Henry François Farny (1847–1916), who is renowned for his works depicting Native Americans and the Old West. Farny's artistic style is characterized by his attention to detail, historical accuracy, and sympathetic portrayal of Native American subjects.

Created in 1904, "The Ambush" reflects Farny's dedication to capturing the daily life and struggles of Native Americans during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The painting is a vivid illustration of a moment of tension and potential conflict, as suggested by the title. It is representative of Farny's later work, where he often depicted serene landscapes juxtaposed with the dramatic human narratives of the American frontier.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium in which Farny excelled, allowing him to render both the subtleties of the natural environment and the nuanced expressions of his human subjects. "The Ambush" is distinguished by its harmonious color palette and the artist's use of light and shadow, which contribute to the overall mood and storytelling within the piece.

As with many of Farny's works, "The Ambush" is informed by the artist's personal experiences and extensive research. Farny was known for his ethnographic approach to art; he lived among various Native American tribes and collected artifacts, which he used as accurate references for his paintings. This dedication to authenticity is evident in the detailed portrayal of the figures' attire and weaponry in "The Ambush."

"The Ambush" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a culturally significant work that offers insight into the historical context of the American West. It is part of a broader oeuvre of Farny's work that has contributed to the understanding and appreciation of Native American history and culture in the United States.

The painting is part of the collection of the Cincinnati Art Museum, an institution that houses several works by Henry Farny, who spent much of his life in Cincinnati, Ohio. "The Ambush" continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and as an important piece of American art history.
