Also known as

Leon Louis Dolice

Leon Dolice (1892–1960) was an American painter whose public profile is closely associated with etchings and pastels of urban subjects. Born in Vienna, he trained as a machinist and traveled in Europe and North Africa before emigrating to New York in 1912. There he focused on the changing city, producing views of recognizable buildings, streets, waterfronts, and public landmarks. By 1922, sales reportedly allowed him to work as an artist full time. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Dolice through New York cityscapes and works on paper, especially etched impressions, although paintings also appear in auction classifications. His work is best understood through subject, medium, date, and physical evidence rather than through an asserted movement: the collected institutional and authority sources identify him as an American painter but do not establish a specific school. The public auction record makes Dolice a recurring name in appraisal searches.

Common works and media

The collected sources support etchings and pastels of urban scenes, particularly New York buildings and landmarks. Auction records also classify works under works on paper and prints, as well as fine art and paintings. An appraisal should document the work's subject, medium, dimensions, paper or support, plate mark where applicable, signature, inscriptions, stated edition information, and condition. The present source pack does not establish a complete catalogue of titles or editions.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's matched public-auction dataset reports 93 records, including 81 with prices, spanning 1994–2026; its modeled summary cites an observed range of $25–$2,125 and a median near $460. These figures provide context, not a price forecast. For appraisal, compare like with like: etching versus pastel or painting, similar dimensions, subject, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition details, provenance, catalogue references, and attribution confidence. New York urban subjects should be compared with related city views where possible. Reported totals may differ in their treatment of buyer's premiums or fees, while private sales, missing feeds, and later attribution changes may not appear. Authentication and firsthand condition review remain essential.
