Also known as
Álvaro Delgado Ramos, Delgado Ramos, Álvaro
Álvaro Delgado Ramos (1922–2016) was a Spanish painter and illustrator born in Madrid. Authority records identify him as Álvaro Delgado or Delgado Ramos, while collected biographical sources give 9 June 1922 and 3 January 2016 as his life dates. Portraiture was a sustained focus of his practice, making the human figure and individual likeness central reference points for understanding his work. The available sources do not establish a single movement or school strongly enough to label him, so his page is best framed through nationality, profession, and subject rather than a speculative stylistic category. Collectors may encounter his name on paintings, portraits, illustrations, and works offered under broader fine-art, works-on-paper, print, mixed-media, decorative-art, or edition categories. Because other public figures share the name Álvaro Delgado, matching should also consider the full surname Ramos, the Madrid association, dates, medium, subject, signatures, and catalogue or provenance information.

Common works and media
The strongest supported work types are paintings and illustrations, with portraiture identified as a particularly important subject. Appraisily's matched auction data also places works under paintings, works on paper, prints, mixed media, decorative art, editions, and sculpture. Broader category assignments require object-level verification because they may reflect auction-house taxonomy or uncertain name matching rather than a documented catalogue of the artist's complete practice.
Market and appraisal context
Public auction records for Álvaro Delgado should be evaluated through close comparisons rather than treated as a general price forecast. Relevant comparisons should align in medium, dimensions, date, subject matter, condition, and attribution strength. Signatures, inscriptions, edition information, restoration, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references may also affect how a work is classified and valued. Appraisily's matched records span several broad auction categories, but those category labels do not prove that every name match belongs to Álvaro Delgado Ramos. Because the name is shared by other public figures, the artist's full name, Madrid association, life dates, and work characteristics should be checked before relying on a comparable sale.
