Mathurin Méheut (1882–1958) was a French painter, draughtsman, engraver, illustrator, ceramicist, and sculptor whose work is closely tied to Brittany’s natural and maritime worlds. Born in Lamballe and later based professionally in France, he specialized in observing and representing Breton flora and fauna. His broader output encompasses regional life, coastal subjects, and nature studies translated across fine art, printmaking, book illustration, and decorative art. Méheut’s institutional roles reinforce this maritime context: he became an official painter to the French Ministry of the Navy in 1921 and joined the Académie de Marine in 1956. He also taught at École Boulle, École Estienne, and the regional fine-arts school in Rennes. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on works ranging from drawings and engravings to paintings, illustrated material, ceramics, and sculpture. This unusually broad practice makes accurate identification of medium, subject, date, and work type especially important.

Common works and media

Auction and appraisal contexts may include paintings, drawings, engravings, other works on paper, illustrated material, ceramics, decorative works, and sculpture. Recurring documented subjects include Breton flora and fauna, regional scenes, coastal life, marine imagery, and broader nature studies.

Market and appraisal context

A work associated with Mathurin Méheut should be compared with auction records that match its format and subject as closely as possible. His practice crossed painting, drawing, engraving, illustration, ceramics, and sculpture, so comparisons drawn from a different medium may provide limited appraisal context. Breton flora and fauna, regional scenes, and marine subjects are documented parts of his output and can help classify a work before comparable lots are selected. Relevant public records should be reviewed at lot level, including the auction house’s attribution, catalog description, dimensions, sale date, and realized result. The source pack supports a substantial auction presence but does not provide record-level results, so it does not support a price prediction for an individual object.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Drawings and works on paper
  • Engravings, prints, and illustrated works
  • Ceramics and decorative works
  • Sculpture

Value drivers

  1. Identify the medium and work type before selecting comparable lots because Méheut worked across painting, drawing, engraving, illustration, ceramics, and sculpture
  2. Compare subject matter with relevant Breton natural-history, regional, coastal, or marine works
  3. Use public auction records with matching medium, subject, dimensions, and sale date rather than treating the artist-level record count as a valuation

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected sources establish the artist's identity and range of work more strongly than current market behavior.
  • Record-level auction-house descriptions and realized-price results were not included in the collected source excerpts, so individual appraisal requires examination of relevant lots.
