Also known as
Georges Van der Straeten, Dargil
Georges van der Straeten (1856–1941) was a Belgian sculptor born in Ghent and active primarily in Paris. Collectors encounter his name in connection with sculptures emphasizing female figures and representations of feminine beauty. His career extended through the international-exhibition culture surrounding the turn of the twentieth century: he received a silver medal at the 1900 Paris Exposition and was appointed to the Legion of Honour in 1903. Some works were signed “Dargil,” an alternate name that matters when matching inscriptions, catalogue records, and artist entities. Public identifiers connect him across Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, RKD, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and Art UK, helping distinguish him from similarly named makers. Appraisily describes him conservatively as a Belgian sculptor with a Paris-based professional context. The collected evidence does not provide enough accessible institutional detail to assign a formal movement or school with confidence.
SculptureFemale figures and representations of feminine beauty
Common works and media
The available identity sources establish sculpture as Van der Straeten’s central work type and associate him especially with female figures and representations of feminine beauty. Objects may be catalogued under his full name or the documented signing name Dargil. Material, production method, edition status, foundry information, and object-specific dating require separate verification because the collected sources do not document them adequately.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisal should begin with object-level identification rather than the artist name alone. Examine signatures and inscriptions, including the documented Dargil signing name, and determine whether the format and female-figure subject matter correspond to the artist’s established sculptural practice. Record the material, dimensions, condition, date, provenance, production or casting evidence, and exact attribution wording before selecting comparable sales. This source pack does not supply accessible major-auction-house cataloguing or a verified price series, so it cannot support a price trend or automatic value range. When public auction results are available, comparisons should be narrowed by material, scale, subject, date, condition, attribution, and sale context.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Sculpture
Value drivers
- Presence, form, and reading of the documented Dargil signature name
- Consistency with the artist's documented female-figure subject matter
Appraisal caveats
- Do not infer value from artist identity alone; inspect the individual object's material, dimensions, condition, provenance, inscriptions, attribution, and production evidence.
- No price trend or value range is asserted because the collected source pack contains no accessible major-auction-house cataloguing or verified sequence of realized prices.
