About Howard Pyle
Born
1853
Died
1911
Nationality
American
Howard Pyle (1853–1911) was an American illustrator and author who is also identified as a painter. A native of Wilmington, Delaware, he spent the final year of his life in Florence, Italy. His work was closely tied to books for younger readers, and public reference sources associate him with illustrated treatments of Robin Hood and the Knights of the Round Table. These roles place him at the intersection of American illustration, painting, and literary authorship rather than within a movement established by the collected evidence. Collectors may encounter his name in connection with illustration art, paintings, and book-related material. Authority records from Wikidata, VIAF, and IdRef consistently identify the same person and life years, providing a stable foundation for matching his identity across library, museum, publishing, and auction contexts. Specific objects still require careful classification because the collected sources do not establish every medium, series, or edition associated with his name.

Common works and media
The best-supported visual-art classifications in the collected sources are illustration and painting. Literary material related to Robin Hood and the Knights of the Round Table can provide useful subject descriptions when that connection is documented for the object. The source pack does not establish recurring print editions, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or named painting series, so those categories should not be assigned without additional object-level evidence.
Market and appraisal context
Market review should begin by separating illustration art from paintings and by identifying any documented literary subject. Works connected with Robin Hood or the Knights of the Round Table may require comparisons selected for the same type of object and subject context. Appraisily’s input data associates 174 auction records with this public artist profile, but that count is an evidence pool rather than proof that every record is comparable. Individual records should be assessed for relevance before their sale dates, realized prices, or lot descriptions are used. Because the collected pack contains no detailed major-auction-house narratives, it does not support a price trend, price forecast, rarity claim, or conclusion about a particular object’s authorship or value.
