Artist context
About George M. Hathaway
Born
1852
Died
1903
Nationality
American
George M. Hathaway was an American painter whose authority records place his life around 1852–1903. VIAF describes him both as a painter and, more specifically, as a marine artist. The limited work evidence in this source pack supports that emphasis: documented examples show Portland-area coastal and harbor subjects, including Cushing Island and a Maine harbor scene with a tug and sailing vessel. One collected record identifies an oil-on-panel work, indicating that small-format oils may be among the objects collectors encounter. No museum biography, training history, exhibition record, or documented movement was recovered, so Hathaway should not be assigned to a particular school on the present evidence. His identity is best established through linked Getty ULAN, Library of Congress, VIAF, and Wikidata records, while each attributed work requires separate examination of its authorship, medium, date, dimensions, and physical condition.

Common works and media
The presently documented examples are marine and coastal paintings connected with Portland, Maine. Subjects include islands, harbors, tugboats, sailing vessels, and working waterfront activity. At least one work is recorded as oil on panel. The source pack does not establish whether Hathaway also produced prints, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, or formal editions, so those categories should not be attributed to him without additional object-level evidence.
Market and appraisal context
Market review for George M. Hathaway should begin with closely comparable marine and coastal paintings. The available evidence includes an oil-on-panel view of Cushing Island and a Portland harbor composition featuring working and sailing vessels, making medium, support, location, and maritime subject useful comparison points. This source pack does not provide accessible lot-level results, realized prices, or a major-auction-house biography, so it cannot establish a price trend or valuation range. Any appraisal should examine the object directly and compare it with verified public sales that match the work’s medium, dimensions, subject, date, attribution, and condition as closely as possible.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Marine paintings
- Coastal and harbor paintings
- Oil paintings on panel
Value drivers
- Medium and support, including whether a work is documented as oil on panel
- Maritime subject matter and identification of a specific Maine or Portland location
- Composition details such as the presence of working vessels, sailing ships, or recognizable harbor activity
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack contains no accessible lot-level auction results, realized prices, or major-auction-house biography.
- The supplied Appraisily page returned a rate-limit response during collection, so its underlying auction records could not be examined individually.
- No price trend or valuation range can be supported from this identity-focused source pack alone.
- The authority record is divided between two VIAF identifiers, so entity matching should retain the linked Getty ULAN and Library of Congress identifiers.
