Charles Fouqueray (1869–1956) was a French painter, draughtsman, illustrator, lithographer, poster artist, engraver, and decorator. Born in Le Mans and active within French institutional and publishing circles, he became an official painter of the French Navy in 1908 and was elected to the painting section of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1947. Those appointments provide important context for the maritime, naval, and historical subjects associated with his work. His documented activities extended beyond easel painting to illustrated books, prints, posters, and decorative projects, so collectors may encounter his name across several materially different kinds of objects. Library records connect him with numerous publications as an author or illustrator, while his naval role helps explain the prominence of ships, seafaring life, and related imagery. The collected sources do not support assigning Fouqueray to a specific named modern-art movement, so his page is better framed through his documented professional roles, subjects, and media.

Common works and media
Works encountered under Fouqueray's name may include paintings, drawings, maritime or historical compositions, original illustration art, illustrated books, lithographs, engravings, posters, and decorative designs. Printed and book-related material should be distinguished from unique paintings or drawings, with edition information, printing technique, and completeness recorded when applicable.
Market and appraisal context
A Fouqueray appraisal should begin with the exact type of object: an oil painting, drawing, original illustration, lithograph, engraving, poster, or book-related work can occupy a different market category. Subject matter may also matter, particularly when a work relates to his documented maritime, naval, or historical practice. Date, dimensions, physical condition, provenance, attribution evidence, and the distinction between a unique work and an editioned print should be recorded before selecting comparisons. Relevant public auction records can provide context through sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots, but an artist-level record count alone does not establish the authenticity or value of a particular object. Comparisons should match medium, subject, scale, date, and edition status as closely as the available evidence permits.

Value drivers
- Work type and medium, including whether the object is a painting, drawing, original illustration, lithograph, engraving, or poster
- Subject matter and its relationship to Fouqueray's documented maritime, naval, or historical practice
- Date and relationship to documented career milestones, including his 1908 naval appointment and 1947 academy election

Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack contains substantial identity evidence but no substantive result page from a major auction house.
- An artist-level auction record count does not establish the authorship, authenticity, condition, or value of an individual object.
- Paintings, unique works on paper, book illustrations, posters, and editioned prints should not be compared as interchangeable market categories.
