## About Henry Hadfield Cubley

Henry Hadfield Cubley (1858–1934) was a British painter best identified in authority records as a landscapist. Art UK documents his work in British public collections, while VIAF associates his name with titles centered on mills, farms, roads, sheep, rivers, lakes, mountains and coastal views. Named locations include Derbyshire, Surrey, Barmouth and Scottish sites such as Glencoe and Arrochar. This record places him within the tradition of British landscape painting, although the collected sources do not assign him to a specific formal movement. Publicly documented works include The Old Mill, Leek from Ladderedge, The Pass of Glencoe and Morning Mists, Arrochar. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Cubley through signed oil landscapes depicting recognizable countryside, waterways and rural activity. Authority coverage is consistent on his identity and life years, but detailed biographical information in this source pack remains limited.

## Common works and media

Public-collection and authority records point primarily to landscape paintings. Documented subjects include mountain passes, lakes, rivers, coastlines, wooded parks, mills, farms, village roads, livestock and recognizable British locations. Collected object metadata identifies both oil-on-canvas and oil-on-board examples. Titles, signatures, dates and inscriptions may appear on the front or reverse, making photographs of both sides, the frame, labels and markings important when researching a possible Cubley work.

## Market and appraisal context

Cubley’s market context should be assessed at the level of the individual landscape rather than from his name alone. Relevant distinctions in the collected material include oil on canvas versus oil on board, identified location, rural or coastal subject, dimensions, execution date, signature, and inscriptions or labels on the reverse. Documented provenance can strengthen the workfile when it is specific and verifiable. A useful comparison set should match medium, support, subject type, date and attribution as closely as possible, then consider sale date and auction-house context. The source pack signals an Appraisily auction-record index for the artist, but the public page was rate-limited during collection and no realized-price detail or major-auction-house biography was captured. No price trend or forecast is therefore asserted here.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records and auction-house context. When records are available, appraisal research may consider sale dates, realized prices and comparable lots matched by medium, subject, date and attribution.
