Artist context

About Anna Katrina Zinkeisen

Anna Katrina Zinkeisen (1901–1976) was a Scottish painter and sculptor born in Kilcreggan, Scotland. Recognized as a war artist during the Second World War, she built a reputation for accomplished portraiture and figurative painting, producing commissioned portraits of notable public figures including Sir Alexander Fleming and Baron Todd. Zinkeisen's work spans oil painting and sculpture, and she is listed in major reference works including Bénézit, the Witt Checklist, and the Dictionary of British Artists. Her career bridged the interwar and post-war periods in Britain, and she is documented in the RKD, Getty ULAN, VIAF, and Library of Congress authority files. With nearly 200 works recorded in auction databases, her paintings appear with some regularity on the secondary market, particularly portraits and figurative compositions.

Common works and media

Oil paintings on canvas and board, particularly portraits and figurative compositions, are the most frequently seen works at auction. Sculptural works by Zinkeisen exist but are encountered less often. Subjects range from formal portrait commissions of scientists, military figures, and public personalities to smaller-scale figurative and genre scenes. Works from her period as a war artist may also appear, carrying additional historical significance.

Market and appraisal context

Anna Katrina Zinkeisen's works appear at auction primarily as oil paintings, with portraits and figurative subjects being the most commonly encountered categories. Portraits of identifiable or prominent sitters may carry additional value due to historical interest. Her status as a documented British war artist adds provenance significance to works from that period. Collectors should consider medium, condition, provenance, the identity of the sitter, and whether the work is documented in RKD or Bénézit records when assessing value. Attribution questions are best resolved through provenance research and comparison with works held in public collections.

Value drivers

  1. Portrait commissions of prominent sitters (e.g. Alexander Fleming, Baron Todd) may command premiums at auction

  4. Inclusion in Bénézit, Witt Checklist, and Johnson/Greutzner supports established catalogue standing

Appraisal caveats
