About Albert Lynch
Born
1860
Died
1950
Nationality
Peruvian, French
Albert Lynch is identified by Wikidata and several linked records as a Peruvian-French artist generally dated 1860–1950. He worked primarily in France and is documented as both a painter and an illustrator. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with portraits, genre scenes, and illustrated literary editions. An IdRef authority record links Lynch to illustrations for works by Alexandre Dumas and Guy de Maupassant, showing that his practice extended beyond independent paintings into published books. His precise identity requires care, however: library and collection records disagree over whether he was born in 1860 or 1851, and some records give a different death date or no complete death year. National descriptions also vary among French, Peruvian-French, and German-Peruvian. Appraisals should therefore compare an object's signature, date, medium, subject, and publication history with records securely assigned to the intended Albert Lynch rather than relying on the name alone.

Common works and media
The available authority evidence associates Lynch with paintings, portraits, genre scenes, and book illustration. Auction and appraisal material may therefore include independent paintings as well as drawings, printed illustrations, or pages connected with published literary works. Because the source pack does not contain a categorized lot inventory, the relative frequency of these work types remains unverified.
Market and appraisal context
Albert Lynch appears in Appraisily's auction-record index, but the collected source pack does not provide lot-level prices or enough evidence for a market trend. For appraisal, the first task is to establish which Albert Lynch is represented because authority files contain conflicting life dates and may conflate similarly named artists. Once identity is reasonably established, useful comparisons should match the work type, medium, subject, dimensions, date, and—where applicable—the associated publication or edition. Portraits and genre paintings should not automatically be compared with book illustrations or other works on paper. Condition, provenance, attribution language, and the quality of the signature or documentary link should be reviewed from the individual object's evidence before selecting comparable public sales.

Appraisal caveats
- The collected pack supplies an aggregate Appraisily auction-record signal but no individual lot descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, or provenance histories.
- Conflicting authority records create a material risk that works or records attributed to similarly named artists have been combined.
- No price trend, scarcity claim, or predictive valuation conclusion can be supported from this source pack alone.
