## About Glenn Cooper Henshaw

Glenn Cooper Henshaw was an American painter whose authority records commonly identify him as Glen Cooper Henshaw. The available records agree that he died in 1946, although they conflict over his birth year. Public-domain examples associated with the artist include pastel portraits and figure studies, as well as an atmospheric night scene near the Doge's Palace in Venice. These works indicate an interest in portraiture, works on paper, and urban subjects, but the collected institutional evidence does not support assigning him to a specific movement or school. Collectors may encounter his name on paintings and pastels, sometimes under the single-n spelling recorded by library authorities. Because name spelling and birth-year data vary across public records, identity should be checked through signatures, inscriptions, provenance, dimensions, medium, and comparison with securely attributed works rather than through the displayed name alone.

## Common works and media

Public examples document pastels on paper, including portraits, figure subjects, and a Venetian night scene. Appraisily's auction index also places matched records within paintings and works-on-paper categories. Broader labels such as sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions appear in the index, but the current identity sources do not establish those as characteristic parts of Henshaw's practice; any such attribution should therefore be assessed lot by lot.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's collected artist page reports more than 150 priced public-auction records within a broader matched dataset, with recorded sale dates extending from 1989 into 2026. Those results provide useful comparable evidence, but they should not be treated as a single price benchmark. A meaningful comparison should align the medium, dimensions, subject, date, condition, signature or inscriptions, attribution wording, and provenance of the object being appraised. Pastels and other works on paper should be compared with similar works rather than with paintings indiscriminately. Reported prices may also differ in whether fees or buyer premiums are included. Private transactions, incomplete auction feeds, restoration, and later attribution changes can further limit direct comparisons.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Gaps, conflicting authority data, private sales, and attribution changes may limit completeness.
