## About Albert Malet

Albert Malet (1912–1986) was a French painter identified consistently in Wikidata and VIAF authority records. Collected encyclopedia excerpts associate him with the École de Rouen, or Rouen School, a regional context that can help distinguish his identity in catalogues and search results. That association remains provisional here because the available source pack does not contain a museum, foundation, catalogue raisonné, or scholarly biography confirming it. The exact birth and death dates—5 April 1912 and 4 September 1986—come from the collected French-language encyclopedia entry, while authority records independently corroborate the lifespan. Collectors may encounter Malet through auction listings for paintings, but this evidence set does not establish particular subjects, techniques, periods, or named series. Careful entity matching is especially important because public image searches also return material about an unrelated French historian named Albert Malet.

## Common works and media

The defensible common work type in this source pack is painting, reflecting Malet’s consistent identification as a painter in public authority records. The collected evidence does not establish whether oil, watercolor, gouache, drawing, printmaking, or another technique predominates, and it does not document recurring subjects or named series. Auction and appraisal descriptions should therefore preserve the medium and subject recorded for the specific object rather than generalizing from the artist’s regional association.

## Market and appraisal context

Albert Malet’s market should be assessed from individual, verified works rather than from the artist name or record count alone. The present source pack supports painting as the relevant work category but provides no accessible lot descriptions, auction-house commentary, condition reports, dimensions, provenance histories, or realized-price comparisons. It therefore cannot support claims about preferred subjects, media, periods, scarcity, or price direction. An appraisal should first confirm that the signature, catalogue attribution, physical medium, and work history refer to the painter born in 1912. When usable auction records are available, comparable lots should be selected by work type and sale date and reviewed alongside the object’s documented 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. This profile separates corroborated identity facts from provisional art-historical and market observations.
