About Frank Wasley
Born
1848
Died
1934
Nationality
British
Frank Wasley (1848–1934) was a British painter whose working life spanned the late Victorian era and the early twentieth century. Wikidata and Art UK agree on his identity and life years, while Getty ULAN and VIAF provide additional authority links. The available sources contain little detailed information about his training, exhibitions, or professional affiliations. Public-domain examples in the source pack show recurring Venetian subjects, including boats, fishing craft, calm water, and festivities around San Marco. These works offer useful visual context but do not establish a documented movement or school, so none is assigned here. Collectors may encounter Wasley through paintings of Venice and marine or waterside scenes, together with auction listings placed in broader fine-art and works-on-paper categories. Any identification should still be tested against the individual object's signature, medium, subject, provenance, and documented attribution.

Common works and media
Available source-pack images show paintings of Venice, including boats, fishing craft, quiet water, and a festival scene around San Marco. Auction records may also place works under works on paper, prints, sculpture or mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Those broad classifications should be verified against each lot rather than treated as a complete catalogue of Wasley's practice.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily's matched auction snapshot provides a starting point rather than a price prediction. The strongest comparisons are works with similar medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration history, signature or inscriptions, provenance, catalogue history, and attribution confidence. Edition details also matter when an object is a print or another multiple. Public results should be compared on a like-for-like basis because reporting may include or exclude buyer premiums and other fees. The available page contains differing record totals in its summary and data table, so the dataset should be refreshed before market depth is quoted. Private sales, incomplete feeds, duplicate names, and later attribution changes may not appear in the public record.
