Also known as
Alice Schmidt Lafourcade Rey Colaço, Alice Rey Colaço Menano, Menano, Alice Rey Colaço
Alice Rey Colaço was a Portuguese multidisciplinary artist whose recorded practice crossed painting, modernist illustration, lyric singing, set design, and costume design. Authority files identify her under several forms, including Alice Schmidt Lafourcade Rey Colaço and Alice Rey Colaço Menano, so careful name matching matters when researching catalogues or sales. Her public identity record places her within a modernist context, while the available sources provide limited detail about specific bodies of work, exhibitions, or artistic chronology. Collectors may encounter her through paintings and works associated with illustration, as well as records connected with her theatrical and musical activities. Auction listings matched to her name extend across broad categories, making object-level comparison more useful than treating every result as equivalent. Because the available biographical evidence consists chiefly of authority records and encyclopedia entries rather than a museum monograph or catalogue raisonné, the attribution, date, medium, and name variant attached to an individual object should be checked closely.

Common works and media
Colaço's documented artistic fields are painting and modernist illustration, alongside set and costume design. In auction and appraisal contexts, relevant objects may therefore include paintings, illustrated works, and works on paper. Appraisily's matched records also use broader categories such as prints, editions, sculpture, mixed media, and decorative art, but the available biographical sources do not establish all of those categories as characteristic parts of her practice. Each object should be assessed through its actual medium, date, inscriptions, provenance, condition, and attribution rather than its category label alone.
Market and appraisal context
Public auction data matched by Appraisily places Alice Rey Colaço listings in broad categories that include fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. These labels should be treated as auction classifications, not as a definitive catalogue of her output. For appraisal, compare objects sharing medium, dimensions, date, condition, provenance, signature or inscription status, edition details, and attribution confidence. Documented exhibition history and catalogue references may also matter. Comparable results should be checked on a like-for-like basis because reported totals may handle buyer's premiums or fees differently. Private transactions, incomplete feeds, restoration, and later attribution changes can limit what public records reveal.
