“CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ” – All recorded works (with or without images known) by Annie Louisa Swynnerton of which the authot of this web site is aware.

This is list of all Annie Louisa Swynnerton’s works, confirmed or attributed, compiled from lists of works in public and private collections, auction records, vendor web sites, exhibition catalogues, newspaper mentions and other sources. It will be a continuously developing list. Note that some entries may be accidental duplicates of others where the same painting is known by different names at different times or in different sources, other ‘single’ entries may represent two or more items with the same name (e.g., Annie probably painted several ‘Mother and Child’ works). I other cases titles are too generalized in publications – e.g., ‘Portrait of a woman’, ‘Coastal scene’, etc. – or have no or too little supporting information to reliably identify as distinct work, so are not included in this list.
