I am looking for information about an artist, A. Vander Velde.  I have
a signed oil painting that I purchased a few years ago in London. I
believe the artist is either Flemish or Dutch.

are you sure about the date&spelling of the name?

there is an A(adriaan)van de velde in the 17th century (dutch)
there is an H (Henri) van der velde (impressionism - late 19th
century) - flemish

(that sirname can be spelled (and has been spelled in about 5
different ways throughout since the middle ages)

could you clarify the style of the painting maybe that'll help

I doublechecked the spelling.  It is accurate.  The date (1895) and
signature are very clear.  It is a picture of a Victorian era sitting
by a fire in a kitchen with her dog.  It is either a woman who lives
on the farm or works in a kitchen for a wealthy family.  She clearly
is not a rich person.
