Nationality

Austrian

Also known as

Desiderius Thomassin

Désiré Thomassin (1858–1933) was an Austrian painter and composer. His identity is represented across several international authority systems, including Getty ULAN, VIAF, Wikidata, ISNI, and national-library records. VIAF also connects the alternate form Desiderius Thomassin with the same person, an important distinction when reconciling signatures, catalogues, or historical sale records. Collectors primarily encounter Thomassin in a visual-art context through paintings, although the available authorities also document his work as a composer. The collected sources securely establish his lifespan, nationality, and occupations, but they do not provide enough scholarly detail to assign a specific movement, school, recurring subject, or named period. Consequently, works associated with Thomassin should be researched through object-level evidence and carefully matched against stable authority identifiers rather than classified through an unsupported stylistic label.

Painting

Common works and media

Painting is the only visual-art medium securely supported by the collected authority sources. Auction and appraisal searches may therefore encounter paintings catalogued under Désiré Thomassin or the alternate form Desiderius Thomassin. The available source pack does not reliably establish recurring subjects, specific techniques, print editions, sculptures, drawings, named series, or a defined stylistic period, so those classifications should be derived from documented individual works rather than inferred from the artist’s identity record.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily’s input data indicates a substantial auction-record corpus associated with Désiré Thomassin, but the collected public source pack does not expose the individual lot descriptions or realized-price evidence needed for a price conclusion. A useful appraisal comparison should therefore begin with records securely attributed to the same artist and then evaluate the object-level evidence available for each lot, including its catalogued work type, sale date, and attribution wording. Authority records are especially useful for reconciling Désiré Thomassin with the alternate form Desiderius Thomassin. They establish identity context, not authenticity. Condition, provenance, dimensions, date, medium, and comparable results should affect a valuation only when supported by the examined work and documented sale records.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings attributed to Désiré Thomassin

Value drivers

  1. A secure identity and attribution match, including reconciliation of the names Désiré Thomassin and Desiderius Thomassin
  2. Comparison with dated public auction records attributed to the same artist when sufficiently documented lots are available

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack does not provide lot-level descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, provenance, dimensions, or attribution notes from a major auction house.
  • No museum or scholarly source in the collected pack establishes a movement, school, recurring subject, named series, or detailed chronology.
  • Authority-file identity matching alone does not authenticate an individual object or establish its value.
