About Harold Wyllie
Born
1880
Died
1973
Nationality
British, English
Harold Wyllie (1880–1973) was a British war artist and English painter who is also identified as having held the rank of lieutenant-colonel. Public biographical sources associate him particularly with maritime scenes, placing seafaring subject matter at the center of his documented artistic identity. The available source pack does not establish a specific movement or school, so his work is better described through its subject and professional context than through an unsupported stylistic label. Collectors may encounter his name in auction records for maritime paintings and other works connected with naval or wartime subject matter, although each object still requires individual attribution. Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, RKD, and Art UK provide stable identity references that help distinguish the artist across catalogues. Appraisily's collected input associates 269 auction records with his name, indicating a meaningful body of market data for comparison once individual records are reviewed.

Common works and media
The available sources identify Wyllie primarily as a painter known for maritime scenes and also classify him as a war artist. Accordingly, maritime paintings are the clearest supported work type for auction and appraisal searches. The source pack does not establish specific print editions, sculpture, ceramics, or named series, so those categories should not be assigned without object-level evidence.
Market and appraisal context
Auction appraisal of a work attributed to Harold Wyllie should begin with the object's medium, maritime or wartime subject, and the strength of the attribution. Authority records help normalize his identity, while public auction results can provide comparables when the offered works are genuinely similar. Relevant comparisons should consider the work type, sale date, realized price, and descriptive context recorded by the auction house. This source pack does not provide enough accessible market detail to support a price trend or forecast. Condition, dimensions, provenance, date, and signature may also matter in an object-level appraisal, but their specific effect on Wyllie's market should be tested against documented comparable lots rather than assumed.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Maritime paintings
Value drivers
- Subject matter, particularly whether a work belongs to the maritime subject area associated with Wyllie
- Work type and medium, including whether the object is a painting
- Secure attribution to the Harold Wyllie identity represented by established authority records
- Comparison with public auction records grouped under the artist's name, including sale date and realized price when available
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack contains limited public market detail and does not support a price trend, price forecast, or claim about relative scarcity.
- Condition, dimensions, provenance, date, signature, and attribution should be documented for an individual appraisal, but this source pack does not establish their artist-specific market effects.
- The Appraisily page was rate-limited during collection, so its auction-record count could not be independently inspected in the fetched excerpt.
