About Caspar Joh. Nepomuk Scheuren
Caspar Johann Nepomuk Scheuren (1810–1887) was a German painter, illustrator, watercolorist, etcher, and graphic artist born in Aachen and active in Düsseldorf. Recognized by the Getty Union List of Artist Names (ULAN), the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (RKD), and the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF), Scheuren produced a substantial body of work spanning oil paintings, watercolors, etchings, and drawings. Over 170 works are documented in the RKD image database. He spent much of his career in Düsseldorf, a major center of 19th-century German painting, and his output reflects the landscape and genre traditions of that era. Collectors today encounter Scheuren's work primarily through the European Old Master and 19th-century art market, where his prints, watercolors, and paintings appear regularly at auction.

Common works and media
Scheuren's auction records include landscape paintings in oil, finished watercolors depicting rural and riverside scenery, etchings and engravings (both original compositions and reproductive prints after other artists), and ink or graphite drawings. Works on paper — particularly watercolors and etchings — represent a significant share of his recorded auction presence. Subject matter typically includes German and Alpine landscapes, river views, architectural scenes, and pastoral genre motifs.
Market and appraisal context
Caspar Johann Nepomuk Scheuren's work appears with some frequency at auction, with over 200 lots recorded on the Invaluable platform. His output spans multiple media — oils, watercolors, etchings, and drawings — and value is influenced by the specific medium, the quality of execution, subject matter, provenance, and condition. Oil paintings and finished watercolors by Scheuren tend to attract stronger results than his reproductive prints and etchings. Attribution should be carefully verified, as no comprehensive catalogue raisonné was identified among public sources. Collectors and appraisers should note that unsigned or poorly documented works attributed to Scheuren require additional connoisseurship or expert opinion.

Appraisal caveats
- No catalogue raisonné or systematic work catalog was identified in the source pack, making definitive attribution of unsigned works difficult.
- Market data in the source pack is limited to auction presence (216 lots on the Invaluable/Appraisily platform); no specific realized prices or price trends were available from the collected sources.
- Scheuren worked across multiple media; auction values may vary considerably between oil paintings, watercolors, and prints.
