About François Louis Lanfant
Born
1814
Died
1892
Nationality
French
François-Louis Lanfant (1814–1892) was a French painter whose surviving public-collection records place him within nineteenth-century figurative painting. Art UK lists works at The Bowes Museum and York Art Gallery, including The Picture Book, Le lever de l'enfant, An Old Lady Walking with a Boy and a Girl, and Brigands Waiting in Ambush. Together with documented works titled The Young Artist, Summer Amusement, The Bird's Nest, On the Way to School, and Little Regatta, these records show a recurring interest in children, family relationships, play, learning, outdoor recreation, and compact narrative scenes. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on small-scale genre paintings rather than on works tied to a firmly documented movement or formal series. Authority records from Wikidata and Getty ULAN help distinguish Lanfant as a French painter born in 1814 and deceased in 1892. The collected evidence does not establish exact life dates, training, exhibition history, or a recognized school, so those points remain open pending stronger scholarship.

Common works and media
Collectors may encounter small figurative oil paintings on wooden panels or canvas. Documented subjects include children reading, waking, walking to school, finding a bird's nest, participating in outdoor recreation, or appearing in family and narrative scenes. Some collected examples are described as signed, while one has an indistinct signature. Museum-listed works also include domestic subjects and a scene of brigands waiting in ambush. The evidence does not establish editions, print series, sculpture, ceramics, or a formal named series.
Market and appraisal context
For appraisal, first match the object to Lanfant's documented work type: figurative paintings, including oils on wood and canvas. Collected records describe small dimensions, signatures, and subjects centered on children or narrative activity, making support, measurements, signature details, and subject matter useful comparison fields. Compare a candidate with public sales only after confirming that the lot is attributed to the same François Louis Lanfant and that its medium and support align. Appraisily's input contains 171 auction records for this artist page, but the supplied source pack contains no detailed major-auction-house results. That count alone does not support a price forecast, liquidity assessment, or market-trend claim.
