Also known as

Sir Francis Grant, Grant, Francis, Sir

Sir Francis Grant (1803–1878) was a Scottish portrait painter whose career belongs to nineteenth-century British art. Authority records from Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and IdRef align on his identity and lifespan, while biographical summaries describe him as a painter of Queen Victoria and prominent aristocratic and political sitters. Grant also served as President of the Royal Academy, placing him within a major institution of Victorian art. His surviving reputation is closely tied to formal portraiture and the representation of elite public life. Collectors may encounter portraits catalogued as works by Grant, qualified attributions, or images connected with notable sitters. Careful entity matching matters because Francis Grant is a common name and catalogue descriptions may alternate among “Francis Grant,” “Sir Francis Grant,” and inverted authority-file forms. Dates, sitter identity, attribution wording, and documentary history should therefore be checked against the specific object.

Common works and media

Grant is chiefly associated in the collected sources with portrait painting. Likely appraisal encounters include formal portraits of named sitters, particularly figures from British royal, aristocratic, or political circles, as well as works carrying qualified attribution. The pack does not provide adequate evidence for broader claims about prints, drawings, or other media, so the individual object should determine how such works are classified.

Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should first confirm that a work is associated with Sir Francis Grant, the 1803–1878 Scottish portrait painter, rather than another person with the same name. For portraits, sitter identity and historical prominence may affect which auction results are genuinely comparable, although this source pack does not provide lot-level evidence sufficient to quantify that relationship. Attribution wording, date, dimensions, medium, condition, provenance, and execution should be documented from the object and its records. Appraisily’s artist page indicates an established auction-record set, but record count alone does not demonstrate a price level or trend. Useful comparisons should involve similar works, with auction house, sale date, realized price, subject, and catalogue attribution reviewed together.

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected pack does not contain lot-level descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, provenance histories, dimensions, or detailed attribution notes.
  • The number of associated auction records does not by itself establish a price level, trend, or attribution.
  • Object-specific medium, condition, provenance, date, dimensions, sitter identity, and attribution wording require verification before comparable sales are selected.
