Also known as
C. A. Waltner
Charles Albert Waltner (1846–1925) was a French printmaker, etcher, engraver, and painter whose authority records identify him as a historical French artist. He is also recorded as C. A. Waltner. Biographical sources describe his study of painting with Jean-Léon Gérôme and Léon Bonnat, followed by instruction from Henriquel-Dupont in copper engraving and etching. This combination helps explain why collectors commonly encounter his name in connection with works on paper rather than with a single documented movement or named series. His record should be kept separate from that of his father, Charles Jules Waltner, who was likewise described as an artist and etcher. For cataloguing and appraisal, the credited artist and stated print technique therefore deserve close attention. The collected sources support Waltner's identity and principal occupations, but they do not establish a specific movement affiliation, recurring subject group, or comprehensive catalogue of his work.
EtchingCopper engravingPainting
Common works and media
Public authority and biographical records most clearly associate Waltner with printmaking, especially etching and copper engraving; painting is also listed among his occupations. Works encountered under his name should be catalogued by the technique stated on the object or in a reliable record. The source pack does not establish recurring subjects, named series, or edition patterns.
Market and appraisal context
Works attributed to Waltner should be compared within the correct medium and print category. An etching, copper engraving, or painting is not interchangeable for appraisal purposes, and the collected sources do not establish that all three appear with equal frequency at auction. Attribution also requires care because his father, Charles Jules Waltner, practiced as an artist and etcher. The current pack confirms an Appraisily auction-price page with 180 associated records in the collected input, but it provides no accessible major-auction-house catalogue text. A market review should therefore match the catalogued artist and technique to relevant public auction records and avoid inferring a price trend from identity data alone.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Etchings and other prints
- Engravings
- Paintings
Value drivers
- The catalogued technique should be matched carefully because the sources associate Waltner with etching, copper engraving, and painting
- Attribution should distinguish Charles Albert Waltner from his father, Charles Jules Waltner, who was also described as an artist and etcher
- Comparable public auction records catalogued under the same artist and work type are more relevant than generalized identity data
Appraisal caveats
- No price prediction is supported by this source pack.
- Verify artist identity and technique before using auction comparables.
