## About Adolphe Marie Beaufrere

Adolphe Marie Beaufrere (1876–1960) was a French painter, engraver, and illustrator, also catalogued under accented and expanded forms of his name. He was born in Quimperlé and died in Larmor-Plage. Authority records from Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and the Bibliothèque nationale de France align on his identity and life years. Collectors may encounter his work through both painting and printmaking. A Rijksmuseum-linked record for the signed 1929 print Arabisch gezelschap identifies etching, drypoint, and plate tone, providing a concrete example of his graphic practice. French- and Breton-language discovery sources associate his imagery with Brittany's countryside and coastal life, including rural figures, roads, the sea, lighthouses, and sailors. The available evidence is stronger for his identity, occupations, and media than for a formal movement affiliation, so this page does not assign him to an unsupported school. His name may appear in catalogues as Adolphe Beaufrère, Adolphe-Marie Beaufrère, or Adolphe Marie Timothée Beaufrère.

## Common works and media

Work types supported by the collected sources include paintings, engravings, illustrations, and works on paper. A documented signed print uses etching, drypoint, and plate tone. Subject references in discovery sources include Breton landscapes and rural life, peasants, roads, the sea, lighthouses, and sailors; a museum-linked 1929 print depicts an Arab group in a wooded setting. These examples should not be treated as a complete catalogue of Beaufrere's output.

## Market and appraisal context

Beaufrere's market record should be segmented first by work type: paintings should not be compared directly with etchings, drypoints, or illustrated works. For graphic works, catalogue fields such as technique, signature, date, dimensions, subject, and documented acquisition history help establish whether records are genuinely comparable. The source pack includes an Appraisily auction-price page and a museum-linked print record, but no major-auction-house result narrative or verified price series. Appraisal should therefore use public realized-price records only on a like-for-like basis and verify the object's attribution and cataloguing details before drawing conclusions. Listing volume alone is not evidence of value, liquidity, or a price trend.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Source limitations and attribution uncertainty should remain visible in any appraisal.
