About Oliver Clare
Born
1852
Died
1927
Nationality
British
Oliver Clare (1852–1927) was a British painter represented in major artist-authority systems, including Getty ULAN, VIAF, Wikidata, RKD, and Art UK. The collected records provide limited biographical detail, so no training history, exhibition record, or movement affiliation is asserted here. Works documented in the source pack point to a focused still-life practice encompassing fruit studies, flowers and blossom, potted plants, and bird's nests. Titles linked through VIAF include A Bunch of Grapes, Fruit on a Mossy Bank, and A Fruit Study, while Wikimedia records document additional fruit, flower, and nest compositions. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Clare through still-life paintings rather than through a documented named series or artistic school. The authority records disagree slightly on his birth year: most collected identifiers use 1852, while VIAF also displays an approximate 1853 date. This page retains 1852 while noting that discrepancy for further research.

Common works and media
Documented works include still-life paintings of grapes, peaches, plums, flowers, apple blossom, primroses, potted plants, and bird's nests. The collected records do not establish prints, sculpture, ceramics, editions, posters, or a formally named series, so those categories should not be assumed without further evidence.
Market and appraisal context
The available evidence supports classifying Oliver Clare's market material primarily as still-life painting, with fruit, flowers, blossom, potted plants, and bird's nests providing useful subject groupings for comparable-lot research. The source pack does not include extracted auction-house results, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, signatures, or realized prices, so it cannot support a price trend or a ranking of valuation factors. A defensible appraisal should first confirm that the work is correctly attributed to Oliver Clare and then compare it with genuinely similar public sales, accounting for each lot's medium, subject, size, condition, date, provenance, attribution language, and sale context when those details are available.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Still-life paintings, especially fruit and floral subjects
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack contains no usable major-auction-house biography or extracted lot-level records from which to assess price trends.
- No conclusions about the relative effects of dimensions, condition, provenance, signature, date, or subject on value can be supported from this source pack alone.
- The available image sample documents recurring subjects but does not establish a complete catalogue of the artist's work.
