Nationality

American

Peter Hurd (1904–1984) was an American painter, illustrator, and etcher closely associated with San Patricio, New Mexico. Authority records maintained through Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN help identify him consistently across museum, library, and collection systems. Collected biographical material emphasizes two recurring areas of his art: portraits and landscapes of the American West, particularly the people and terrain surrounding his New Mexico home. His wider practice included illustration and printmaking, so his name may appear on several kinds of objects rather than paintings alone. Portraits, western landscapes, illustrations, and etchings therefore provide the clearest source-supported contexts for understanding and classifying his work. Although one collected reference describes Hurd in relation to American Realism, the present source pack does not contain sufficiently detailed museum or scholarly evidence to treat that movement label as a firm classification.

Common works and media

Work attributed to Peter Hurd may appear as paintings, illustrations, etchings, and other works on paper. Collected biographical material particularly associates him with portraits and landscapes of the American West, including the people and terrain around San Patricio, New Mexico. For appraisal research, works should first be separated by medium and then by subject before comparable auction records are selected.

Market and appraisal context

Peter Hurd records should be compared by work type and subject rather than pooled under the artist’s name alone. The collected sources identify painting, illustration, and etching, while the biographical evidence distinguishes portraits from western landscapes. Those groupings provide a cautious starting point for selecting comparable lots. Appraisily’s artist page supplies an auction-record signal, but this source pack contains no fetched major-auction-house catalogue evidence supporting a price trend, rarity premium, or hierarchy among media. Any appraisal conclusion should therefore depend on documented object-level evidence and public sales that closely match the work’s medium and subject. The available research supports careful classification and comparison, not an unsupported price prediction.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Portrait paintings
  • Western landscape paintings
  • Etchings and other prints
  • Illustrations and works on paper

Value drivers

  1. Work type and medium should be matched when selecting comparable records, distinguishing paintings, illustrations, and etchings
  2. Subject-specific comparisons should distinguish portraits from western landscapes
  3. Comparable public auction records, sale dates, and realized-price evidence should be evaluated when those records are available

Appraisal caveats

  • Market evidence in the collected pack is limited to the Appraisily artist-page signal at https://appraisily.com/artist/peter-hurd/; no fetched major-auction-house catalogue evidence supports a price trend, rarity premium, or hierarchy among media.
  • The available sources support broad work-type and subject classifications but do not establish object-specific attribution or authentication.
