About William Malherbe

Born

1884

Died

1951

Nationality

French

William Malherbe (1884–1951) was a French painter whose career belongs to the first half of the twentieth century. Public authority records establish his identity, nationality, occupation, and lifespan, while surviving image records document work beyond easel painting. These include French loan posters associated with the First World War, among them a color lithograph promoting the fourth National Defence Loan. Auction records also place paintings and works on paper among the formats attributed to him. The available source pack does not securely assign Malherbe to a named movement, so his work is best approached through documented medium, date, subject, and individual object history rather than a speculative stylistic label. Collectors may encounter paintings, prints, lithographic posters, and other works on paper bearing his name. Careful identity matching is important because the public authority landscape includes multiple identifiers and the available biographical record remains comparatively concise.

Common works and media

Auction and image records indicate that collectors may encounter William Malherbe paintings, works on paper, prints, posters, and color lithographs. Documented public-domain examples include French wartime loan posters. The present evidence does not establish a complete catalogue of subjects or media, so an object's technique, dimensions, date, inscriptions, and attribution should be verified individually rather than inferred from the artist's name alone.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's collected market page contains 112 matched records, including 51 priced records, dated from 1991 through 2025. Its observed results span $20 to $5,200, with a reported median near $800; these figures describe the available dataset rather than a prediction for another object. A useful appraisal comparison should align medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration history, signature or inscriptions, attribution confidence, and provenance. For prints or posters, edition details and printing information may also matter. Auction-house fees and reporting practices can differ, while private sales and incomplete feeds may be absent. Any individual work therefore requires object-specific inspection and comparison with genuinely similar public sales.
