Status

This web site is updated at irrregular intervals, publicly available, and indexed by major search engines. The catalog currently contains records of 839 documented paintings by Frederick Ferdinand Schafer, plus 102 partially described paintings reported to be by Schafer but with limited information and no photograph, so they cannot be identified or attributed with confidence. There are another dozen or so paintings whose addition to the catalog is pending receipt of more information or permission.

There is also a list of 389 painting titles that have been found in nineteenth century title-only auction catalogs or newspaper clippings. Some of the paintings in that list may also be in the catalog under different, owner-assigned titles or even with the original title, but without more information, matching them is problematic. Finally, added for comparison are records of several paintings by other artists who have been or sometimes are confused with Frederick Schafer and 46 paintings sampled from a larger universe of paintings whose claimed attribution to Schafer can be questioned.

Images are included for all but 19 of the documented paintings. Some of those missing images are in hand but are not currently posted because permission has not been granted.
