## About Albert Decaris

Albert Decaris (1901–1988) was a French artist whose documented practice encompassed engraving, painting, watercolor, ink, and decorative work. Library and art-authority systems maintain linked identity records for him, helping distinguish his work in catalogues and collection data. Engraving is the most consistently identified part of his practice across the collected sources, while painting and works on paper broaden the range of objects that collectors may encounter. The available evidence does not justify assigning Decaris to a specific art movement, so his page is best framed around his French artistic identity and documented media rather than an unsupported stylistic label. In appraisal and auction contexts, his name may therefore appear with graphic works, paintings, watercolors, and ink works. Careful authority matching is particularly useful when consolidating records that use his shorter professional name and his fuller recorded name, Albert Marius Hippolyte Decaris.

## Common works and media

Collectors may encounter works catalogued as engravings or other graphic works, as well as paintings, watercolors, ink works, and decorative work. The collected evidence does not establish recurring subjects, named series, edition practices, or a reliable hierarchy among these categories, so individual objects should be described from their own physical and documentary evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal of a work associated with Albert Decaris should begin by identifying its work type and medium: an engraving, painting, watercolor, or ink work may require a different set of comparable lots. The artist name should also be matched against established authority records before auction results are grouped together. When relevant public sales are available, sale date, realized price, and the catalogued characteristics of genuinely comparable lots can provide context. The collected source pack does not contain enough detailed auction-house evidence to support a price forecast, a market trend, or claims that one subject or period is consistently more valuable than another. Object-specific attribution and supporting documentation therefore remain important.

## 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.
