Wang Xuetao, Wang Hsueh-tao, Hsüeh-t'ao Wang, Wang Xue Tao
Wang Xuetao (1903–1982), whose name also appears as Wang Hsueh-tao, Hsüeh-t'ao Wang, and 王雪濤, was a Chinese painter known for xieyi, or freehand, flower-and-bird painting. The available biographical source identifies his original name as 庭钧 and records the courtesy name 晓封 and art name 迟园. Authority records at Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and the British Museum help connect these name forms to the same artist. His specialization places his catalogued work within the Chinese flower-and-bird painting tradition, emphasizing expressive treatment of living subjects. Collectors may encounter his work under different English romanizations, particularly in older catalogues and auction databases. That naming variation makes identity matching important: signatures, inscriptions, seals, provenance, and catalogue history should be considered alongside the catalogued artist name. Appraisily therefore treats artist identity and auction-record matching as related but separately verifiable evidence.

Common works and media
The best-supported works associated with Wang Xuetao are paintings of flowers and birds in the Chinese xieyi, or freehand, tradition. Auction classifications also place matched material among fine art, paintings, works on paper, and prints. For appraisal purposes, inscriptions, seals, support, dimensions, condition, provenance, and attribution wording should be recorded precisely. The available institutional sources do not establish sculpture, mixed media, or decorative editions as characteristic parts of his practice, even though such broad labels occur on the current market page.
Market and appraisal context
Wang Xuetao market research should begin with closely matched paintings or works on paper rather than a headline price or an all-medium average. Medium, dimensions, date, flower-and-bird subject, condition, restoration, provenance, inscriptions, seals, and attribution language can all affect comparability. Exhibition history and catalogue references may provide additional context. Because records can appear under several romanizations, comparable lots should be checked for identity consistency before their realized prices are used. Broad auction categories and unmatched name records require particular caution, while private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may not be reflected in the public sample.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Fine art and paintings
- Works on paper and prints
Value drivers
- Medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration history, provenance, and attribution confidence
- Signature, inscriptions, seals or edition details, exhibition history, and catalogue references

Appraisal caveats
- Treat public auction records as a starting point rather than a final appraisal.
- Reconcile alternate romanizations and Chinese-character names before selecting comparable lots.
- Verify authorship, inscriptions, seals, provenance, condition, and any attribution qualification for the individual object.
- Use broad category labels cautiously when they are not corroborated by artist-specific institutional collection records.
