Also known as
Katherine Cameron
Katharine Cameron (1874–1965) was a Scottish artist whose practice encompassed watercolour, painting, printmaking, etching, and book illustration. Authority records also describe her within a broader British context, and her name appears in both “Katharine” and “Katherine” forms. Cameron is associated with the Glasgow Girls, the grouping commonly used for women artists connected with Glasgow’s creative culture around the turn of the twentieth century. She is especially known for flower subjects rendered as paintings and etchings, although reference sources also identify work in oil and gouache. Collectors may therefore encounter her name on watercolours, prints, works on paper, illustrated material, and other paintings rather than through a single uniform body of objects. Her RWS and RE post-nominals also appear in biographical references. Stable Getty ULAN, VIAF, Library of Congress, Tate, British Museum, Art UK, and Wikidata records help distinguish Cameron from similarly named artists.

Common works and media
Works associated with Cameron in the collected references include watercolours, flower paintings, floral etchings, other prints, oil and gouache paintings, and book illustrations. In auction and appraisal settings, careful separation of original paintings, prints, and illustrated material is important because these are materially different object types. The available source pack does not identify named series or establish an edition catalogue.
Market and appraisal context
A Katharine Cameron appraisal should begin by identifying the object’s medium and technique: a watercolour, oil or gouache painting, etching, other print, and book illustration each requires a different comparison set. Floral subject matter is particularly relevant because reference sources consistently identify flowers with her work. Researchers should also check both “Katharine” and “Katherine” when reviewing signatures, catalogues, authority records, and auction results. Comparable lots are most useful when medium, subject, dimensions, attribution, condition, and sale date are genuinely similar. The collected sources do not establish a universal price trend or documented artist-specific premiums for provenance, condition, editions, or particular periods, so those questions must be resolved through object-level evidence and relevant public sales.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Watercolours and flower paintings
- Etchings and other prints
- Oil and gouache paintings
- Book illustrations and related works on paper
Value drivers
- Medium and technique, particularly distinctions among watercolour, oil, gouache, etching, and other print processes
- Subject matter, including whether a work belongs to the floral imagery for which Cameron is best known
- Identity and attribution checks across the Katharine and Katherine spelling variants
- Relevance of comparable auction lots, including matching medium, subject, sale date, and recorded realized price when those data are available
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack contains no major-auction-house biography or artist-specific market analysis, so it does not support a price trend or prediction.
- The available evidence does not establish artist-specific premiums for condition, provenance, editions, or particular periods; those factors require work-level research.
- Several institutional profiles were identified but could not be substantively reviewed because their collected responses were unavailable or rate-limited.
