Also known as

Oscar Larsen

Oskar Larsen (1882–1972) was an Austrian painter and graphic artist. Authority records identify him as a painter and graphic designer, while VIAF also indexes him as an engraver and preserves the variant name Oscar Larsen. German-language biographical coverage further characterizes him as a history and genre painter, placing narrative and everyday-life subjects within his documented practice. The available source pack does not establish a specific movement or school, so his work is best presented through these roles and subject traditions rather than assigned to an unsupported stylistic label. Collectors may encounter Larsen through paintings, graphic works, engravings, and works on paper. Appraisily's matched public auction data also shows that his name continues to appear in sale catalogues, although individual records should be checked carefully for medium, attribution, and identity matching. His identifiers across Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, and RKD provide useful anchors for distinguishing this Austrian artist from similarly named makers.

Common works and media

Larsen is documented principally as a painter and graphic artist, with engraving also represented in an authority record. Auction and appraisal contexts may therefore include paintings, engravings, prints, and other works on paper, especially historical or genre subjects. An oil-on-canvas work appears in the collected auction material. The source pack does not establish a sculpture, ceramics, poster, or named edition-series practice, so objects in those categories require closer identity and attribution review.

Market and appraisal context

Public auction data collected by Appraisily indicates activity across paintings and works on paper or prints, with an oil-on-canvas example among the listed lots. For appraisal, compare works of the same medium, approximate size, date, subject, and attribution level. Condition, restoration, surface quality, signatures or inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can materially affect how a work compares with recorded sales. Recent comparable lots should be reviewed on a like-for-like basis, including whether reported totals include premiums or fees. The available records are a market starting point, not an authentication or valuation conclusion: private sales may be absent, feeds may be incomplete, and later attribution changes can alter the usefulness of a result.
