About Douglas Alexander

Born

1871

Died

1945

Nationality

Irish

Douglas Alexander (1871–1945) was an Irish painter identified in international authority records as both a painter and landscapist. Getty's Union List of Artist Names, VIAF, and Wikidata link the same historical artist identity, helping distinguish him from contemporary public figures who share the name. The available institutional data supports landscape painting as the clearest context for his work, but the collected sources do not establish a documented movement, school, exact birth and death dates, training history, or named series. Collectors may encounter Alexander through paintings attributed to him and through auction listings indexed under his name. Because the name is not unique, reliable identification should consider the work's subject, medium, approximate date, signature or inscriptions, provenance, and any catalogue or exhibition documentation rather than relying on the displayed artist name alone.

Common works and media

The strongest authority evidence identifies Alexander as a painter and landscapist, making landscape paintings the most securely supported type of work associated with him. The auction index also uses broader routing categories such as works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions, but the source pack does not establish those categories as characteristic parts of this particular artist's practice. Any work outside painting or landscape subject matter should therefore receive especially careful identity and attribution review.

Market and appraisal context

Auction evidence indexed under Douglas Alexander's name can provide a starting point for comparison, but the records require identity review because multiple people share this name. Relevant comparisons should prioritize works aligned with the Irish painter's 1871–1945 lifespan and documented landscape specialization. Medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration, signature, inscriptions, provenance, attribution confidence, and catalogue or exhibition references can all affect comparability. Edition information matters when a work is a print or another multiple. Realized prices should be compared on a consistent basis because reported totals may treat buyer's premiums and fees differently. Public results do not capture every private transaction or later attribution change, so they should support, rather than replace, object-specific examination.

  2. Condition, restoration history, and surface quality
  3. Signature, inscriptions, edition information, and confidence in the attribution

  6. Subject matter, rarity, and current market demand

Appraisal caveats

  • The Appraisily auction index is based on name-matched public records, so records should be checked against the Irish painter's dates and other identifying evidence before they are treated as comparable sales: https://appraisily.com/artist/douglas-alexander/.
  • Public auction results are appraisal inputs rather than a final valuation; private sales, incomplete feeds, fees, and later attribution changes may not be represented consistently: https://appraisily.com/artist/douglas-alexander/.
  • Authentication and a direct condition examination may materially affect an appraisal: https://appraisily.com/artist/douglas-alexander/.
