## About Albert Marquet

Albert Marquet (1875–1947) was a French painter and draftsman whose early career is associated with Fauvism. Collected biographical summaries describe a later approach that became more naturalistic or impressionistic, while landscapes remained central to his work. Portraits and a smaller group of female nude paintings also form part of the documented subject range. Marquet's practice extended beyond painting to drawing, illustration, engraving, and lithography, which helps explain why collectors may encounter both unique works and works on paper bearing his name. His identity is represented across major museum and authority systems, including MoMA, Tate, the National Gallery of Art, Getty ULAN, VIAF, and French library records. Appraisily's substantial matched-auction record shows that Marquet's work appears regularly in public sales, but each object still requires comparison by medium, date, subject, dimensions, condition, provenance, and attribution.

## Common works and media

Collectors most commonly encounter Marquet through paintings and works on paper, especially landscapes, drawings, and prints. Portraits and documented female nude paintings also appear in biographical summaries. Authority records additionally identify him as an illustrator, engraver, and lithographer. A signature or familiar subject alone is insufficient for attribution; medium, support, technique, inscriptions, condition, provenance, and catalogue history should be examined together.

## Market and appraisal context

Albert Marquet's auction history includes paintings, works on paper, and prints, while Appraisily's broad matched-record categories also contain sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. Those category labels should not be treated as proof that every object is typical of his documented practice. For appraisal, compare a submitted work with public sales sharing its medium, dimensions, date or career period, subject, condition, restoration history, signature or inscriptions, edition information where applicable, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and attribution level. Realized-price reports may use different fee conventions, while private sales and incomplete feeds may be absent. Authentication and condition review can materially change conclusions drawn from headline comparables.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Private transactions, incomplete feeds, differing fee conventions, and later attribution changes may not be fully represented.
