Description

Oil on stretched canvas (20"x12") supposedly Alfred Augustus Glendening (British - 19th C). Title -"Flatford Mill". Dated 1879. Verso indicates title as "Flatford Mill" and is signed in the lower left with "A. A. G. '79." The nameplate on the frame indicates the title and "A.A. Glendening 1879." Can you help define the value? If this is really a Glendening oil and if so by junior or senior?

Paintings really require a physical appraisal to determine what we are dealing with . There were two Alfred Glendenings . Alfred Glendenings Jr. (1861-1907) bore the same name as his father, Alfred Augustus Glendening Sr. (1840-1910) original paintings by either have sold over a wide range from about $2000.00 to $20,000.00.

I am trying to figure out if this was a possible Glendening either Jr or Sr   Is there a catelogue of their works somewhere. I haven't even found a list of titles. The flatford mill title on this doesn't match other Glendening mill paintings   I added a few close ups that may help a partial evaluation.

From what I can see this is  by A A Glendening  (1840-1921) but if it is then you would see his signature or initials (AAG) in one of the lower corners - It looks like the lower left corner to me. Could you check that and see if there is a date beside it? The signature and date as well as the inscription Flatford Mill is definitately not in his hand. Also how big is the canvas?

I've been researching the artist's work for some time so was interested to see your posting. I would be happy to share more information with you.

That's really interesting - thanks for letting me know. The date fits in with his style at that period. Do you know who owns the painting?  Thanks

I don't remember and I don't have info anymore. My concern was that the date was that the date didn't seem to be in his style nor did the structure of the letters. I think she wanted about $7k for it. But I believe it sold.

DId you take a photo of the red initials and date AAG 79 lower left? I agree that the signature and inscription "Flatford Mill/ By A A Glendening 1879" which appears to wrap around the stretcher is not in his hand.
