## About Agricol Louis Montagné

Agricol Louis Montagné (1879–1960), also recorded as Louis Agricol Montagné, was a French painter and watercolorist. A French biographical source identifies him as a pupil of painters Paul Saïn and Fernand Cormon. His identity is represented across several established authority systems, including Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, BnF, RKD, ISNI, and Wikidata, which helps separate his records from similarly named artists. Collectors may encounter his work catalogued under either ordering of his given names and primarily described as painting or watercolor. The collected evidence does not securely assign Montagné to a formal movement or document recurring subjects, named series, or edition practices, so those classifications should not be inferred. Auction and appraisal research should therefore begin with identity resolution, medium, and the evidence supplied for the individual object.

## Common works and media

The collected public biographical sources support two common work types: paintings and watercolors. They do not provide enough evidence to claim recurring subjects, named series, prints, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or editioned works. Auction cataloguing should preserve the stated medium and attribution language for each object.

## Market and appraisal context

The most defensible market approach is to resolve the artist's identity and distinguish paintings from watercolors before choosing comparable auction records. Name variants such as Agricol Louis Montagné and Louis Agricol Montagné should be checked so relevant sales are not separated or combined incorrectly. This source pack does not provide lot-level dimensions, dates, subjects, condition reports, provenance, attribution language, realized prices, or a major-auction-house market overview. Those details should be taken from each individual auction record rather than inferred from the biography. When suitable records are available, comparisons should align the work type, catalogued artist identity, sale date, and documented object characteristics.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Unsupported biographical or market details are not inferred.
