About George Clare
Born
1830
Died
1900
Nationality
British
George Clare was a British painter known principally for still-life compositions. Art UK records his approximate life dates as c.1830–c.1900 and documents paintings in several British public collections, including The Cooper Gallery, Southampton City Art Gallery, and Torre Abbey Museum. The recorded works concentrate on carefully arranged fruit and flowers: titles include Still Life of Various Fruit, Grapes, Basket with Flowers, and multiple works called Still Life with Fruit. These institutional records provide a useful basis for distinguishing Clare's established subject matter from unsupported attributions. Collectors most often encounter his name in connection with traditional still-life paintings, especially decorative compositions centered on fruit, blossoms, baskets, and tabletop arrangements. The available source pack does not establish an association with a named artistic movement or school, and published authority data conflict over his precise birth and death years. His dates should therefore remain approximate unless stronger documentary evidence becomes available.

Common works and media
Works associated with George Clare are primarily paintings of still-life subjects. Public-collection examples feature assorted fruit, grapes, baskets of flowers, and combined fruit arrangements. In auction and appraisal settings, a work should be compared with examples sharing a similar subject, scale, support, condition, signature treatment, and level of attribution rather than grouped with every lot carrying the artist's name.
Market and appraisal context
George Clare's market should be assessed through closely matched still-life paintings rather than through an artist-wide price expectation. Relevant comparisons should account for medium, dimensions, subject, composition, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, provenance, and the confidence of the attribution. Fruit and flower subjects are documented in public collections, making them especially useful reference points when checking whether an auction work fits the artist's recognized output. Reported auction results can vary in their inclusion of buyer premiums and fees, while private sales and incomplete feeds may be absent. Because George Clare is a relatively common name and the biographical record remains sparse, each comparable lot should also be checked for identity consistency before it influences an appraisal conclusion.
