British
Also known as
Percy Frederick Horton
Percy Frederick Horton (1897–1970) was a British painter and art teacher whose identity is recorded by Getty ULAN, VIAF, Wikidata, Tate and Art UK. Institutional and authority records consistently identify him as a 20th-century British artist, while a published biographical summary also records his service as Ruskin Master of Drawing at the University of Oxford from 1949 to 1964. No specific movement or school is assigned here because the collected institutional sources do not provide sufficiently clear evidence for one. Indexed work titles nevertheless show a varied figurative practice encompassing landscapes, portraits, flower subjects and scenes of working life. Collectors may encounter Horton through paintings connected with British landscape and representational art, as well as through public auction records filed under either Percy Horton or his fuller name, Percy Frederick Horton. Those name forms, together with his documented life years, are important for distinguishing his work from objects associated with similarly named people.

Common works and media
Percy Horton is documented primarily as a painter. Authority-linked titles indicate landscape and place subjects, including lake, rural, Lakeland, village and river settings. Other recorded subjects include portraits or figure studies, a flower piece and an industrial scene involving factory workers. These titles demonstrate breadth but should not be read as a complete catalogue or as proof that every category appears regularly at auction. The collected sources do not provide enough evidence to characterize an editioned-print, sculpture or ceramics market for Horton.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisal of a work attributed to Percy Horton should begin with identity: records may use either Percy Horton or Percy Frederick Horton, and the documented life years are 1897–1970. Work type and subject can then guide the selection of relevant comparisons. Indexed titles point to landscapes, portraits, flower subjects and industrial or workplace scenes, but the source pack does not establish that any one category consistently commands a premium. Public auction comparisons are most useful when the sale date, realized price, work type and subject are known. The collected evidence does not justify predictions about price trends, scarcity or liquidity, and it provides no artist-specific basis for quantifying the effects of condition, dimensions, provenance, signature or date. Those characteristics require inspection of the individual object and appropriately matched comparable sales.
Auction categories and appraisal factors

Value drivers
- Secure artist identification and attribution to Percy Frederick Horton
- Work type and subject, including landscapes, portraits, industrial scenes and flower subjects
- Comparison with relevant public auction records, including sale date and realized price when available
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack contains no major auction-house biography or detailed market analysis, so it does not support claims about price direction, liquidity or scarcity.
- The available evidence does not establish how condition, dimensions, provenance, signature or date affect this artist's market specifically; those characteristics should be assessed object by object.
- Titles indexed through VIAF indicate subject range but do not establish how frequently each subject appears at auction.
