Auguste Henri Musin (1852–1923) was a Belgian artist identified by public authority records as a painter and by Dutch- and French-language biographical sources as a marine painter. Born in Ostend, he was the son of François Musin. VIAF consolidates records under several forms of his name, including Auguste Musin, August Musin, and Auguste Henri Musin, and also carries engraver and illustrator roles from constituent authorities. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Musin through paintings with maritime or harbor-related subject matter, while works described as prints or illustrations require object-specific verification. His documented lifetime places him in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but the collected source pack does not establish a formal movement or school. Authority records are particularly useful for distinguishing Musin from similarly named artists and checking whether an auction attribution maps to the recognized Belgian marine painter.

Common works and media
Marine paintings are the clearest documented work type associated with Auguste Henri Musin, particularly works involving maritime or harbor-related subject matter. VIAF also carries engraver and illustrator roles from constituent authority records, but the collected evidence is insufficient to describe prints or illustrations as equally common. Each such object should be checked individually against its attribution and comparable auction records.
Market and appraisal context
The strongest documented market context is Musin's identity as a Belgian marine painter. An appraisal should first confirm that the attribution and name variant correspond to the authority-record entity, then compare the object's subject and work type with relevant marine paintings. Appraisily's input associates 207 auction records with the public artist page, providing a starting pool for comparable-lot research. The count alone does not establish a price level or trend: useful comparisons require the underlying work descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, and attribution language. Engravings or illustrations should be evaluated separately because the source pack confirms those occupational labels but does not show how commonly such works appear at auction.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Marine paintings
- Paintings attributed to Auguste Henri Musin
Value drivers
- Consistency of the subject and work type with Musin's documented identity as a marine painter
- Accurate entity matching across the name forms Auguste Henri Musin, Auguste Musin, and August Musin
- Comparison with relevant public auction lots, including their work descriptions, sale dates, and realized prices when available
Appraisal caveats
- The source pack does not contain detailed individual auction-lot records, so it does not support a price trend, price range, or scarcity claim.
- Engraver and illustrator roles appear in VIAF constituent data, but the collected sources do not establish how frequently such works reach auction.
- Authority sources conflict over the death year: most collected records support 1923, while a Getty-derived VIAF form and the Art UK profile URL indicate 1920.
