Shanzi Zhang is the public-page name used here for the Chinese painter identified by authority sources as Chang Shan-tse and by the Chinese name 張善孖. Born in 1882 in Neijiang, Sichuan, and deceased in 1940, he is especially associated in the collected biographical material with paintings of tigers. Collectors may encounter his work under several transliterations, including Tchang Shan Tse, Chan-tseu Tchang, and Shan-tzu Cha, making careful entity matching important when reviewing catalogues and auction records. The available source pack establishes his identity, lifespan, Chinese nationality, occupation, and principal animal subject, but it does not provide institution-grade documentation for a particular movement, school, or formally defined series. His auction presence should therefore be researched through the combination of authority identifiers, name variants, inscriptions, subject matter, medium, and provenance rather than through name spelling alone.

Common works and media

The strongest evidence in the collected source pack supports paintings, particularly works depicting tigers. Appraisily's present auction taxonomy also mentions works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Because the matched market sample is sparse, those broader labels are best treated as discovery categories rather than proof that each type is commonly encountered. For appraisal and entity matching, inspect the medium, support, dimensions, inscriptions, seals or signatures, condition, provenance, and the exact name variant used in the catalogue.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's collected market page currently reports four matched public auction lots, three with recorded prices, covering sales from 2008 through 2022. That is a thin sample, so its reported price range should not be treated as a forecast or a complete account of the artist's market. Appraisal should begin with closely comparable works and consider medium, dimensions, date, tiger or other subject matter, condition, restoration, inscriptions, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references. Reported results may use different fee conventions, while private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent. Broad category labels on the current page should also be verified against the individual lot records before being treated as characteristic of the artist's body of work.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Fine art and paintings
  • Works on paper and prints
  • Sculpture and mixed media
  • Decorative art and editions

Value drivers

  1. Medium, dimensions, date, and period within the artist's career
  2. Condition, restoration history, and surface quality
  3. Signature, inscriptions, edition information, and attribution confidence
  4. Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references
  5. Comparable public auction sales for works of similar type and quality
  6. Subject matter, rarity, and current demand

Appraisal caveats

  • Treat public auction records as starting evidence rather than a final appraisal.
  • Confirm attribution and condition before drawing conclusions from comparable sales.
  • Compare reported prices on a like-for-like basis because fee treatment can differ.
