List of Major Works by Richard Caton Woodville 1856-1927
Is this the sort of data you seek?. A list of minor works is in preparation but it is a mammoth task. No complete list of Richard�s works survives, and it would probably be impossible to construct one now. The following are those major works on military subjects which have been documented to date. There may be others which have disappeared, though some may still survive in private collections. a) DATED WORKS TITLE Year Si ze (cm) Medium Auctioned Present Location Painted Ex.@ RA 1.
