Welcome to Daniel Ridgway Knight's Catalogue of Works

This catalogue raisonné is free and open to all. If you would like to see all of the information about each art work, please register and sign in. This will allow you to access not only the image of the art work, but the provenance, exhibitions, and publications as well as the text on each piece. If you already have an account, you can simply sign in. If you would like to browse through the images only, you do not need to register.

If you have additional information about any of the paintings or questions about them, please contact us at rehs.com.

The “search” feature allows you to search by title, medium, date, provenance, exhibitions,  publications and keywords.

Search terms should not include definite or indefinite articles such as “the”, “a” or “an” in English or such as “le”, “la”, “les”, “un”, “une” in French. Neither should the abbreviations “d’” or “q’” or qu’” in French be used.

Keyword searches will be most successful when selecting a specific characteristic. For example, searching for “two women” will narrow the field of options, but if one of the women is wearing a blue scarf, then that term will be more selective, and thus more likely to produce a smaller range of options.

Artworks may be titled in both English and French and may be searched in either language. Whenever possible, the primary title is in English. Occasionally titles are repeated, such as Julia by the River or Preparing for Work. In addition, galleries, collectors and auction houses have used a variety of titles for the paintings over the years. Those alternative titles are indicated in the provenance.

Works that were exhibited at the annual exhibition organized by the Académie des Beaux-Arts can be searched by using the term “Paris Salon” rather than Société des Artistes Français.

The use of “ca.” before a date indicates that the artwork dates from a five-year span before the date and after the date. For example, a painting dated ca. 1890 might have been painted at any time between 1885 and 1895.

The inventory system for the art works consists of four categories indicated by a capital letter that precedes each number. The number is assigned sequentially when an art work is authenticated and included in the catalogue raisonné.

     DF: double figure
     L:    landscape
     MF: multiple figure
     SF: single figure
