## About Albert Rousseau

Albert Rousseau (1908–1982) was a Canadian painter associated with Quebec and born in Saint-Étienne-de-Lauzon, where the collected biographical source also records his death. Wikidata identifies him as a Canadian painter, while VIAF consolidates authority records under the life dates 1908–1982; the French-language Wikipedia page supplies the exact dates, 17 October 1908 and 18 March 1982. Together, these records distinguish him from other artists and public figures named Rousseau. The available source pack supports painting as his occupation and medium, but it does not establish a documented movement, school, recurring subject, named series, or detailed training history. Appraisily’s input associates this identity with 222 auction records, which explains why collectors may encounter his name in resale and appraisal searches. Because the auction page itself was rate-limited and no individual lots were captured, medium beyond painting, chronology, and market patterns should be verified against specific works and sale records rather than inferred here.

## Common works and media

Painting is the only work type directly supported by the collected identity sources. The pack does not establish recurring subjects, named series, print editions, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or other media, so those categories should be added only after review of documented works or individual auction lots.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected input indicates 222 auction records under Albert Rousseau’s name, but the public results page was rate-limited during collection, so individual lots, sale dates, realized prices, dimensions, conditions, and attribution wording were not available for review. This profile therefore supports identity matching, not a price forecast or market trend. In an appraisal, the first task is to confirm that a work belongs to the Albert Rousseau authority identity dated 1908–1982. Any valuation should then use closely comparable public sales and document differences in medium, size, date, condition, provenance, subject, and attribution language. Those criteria are general appraisal checks, not artist-specific conclusions established by this source pack. A defensible estimate requires lot-level evidence and current sale context.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. For Albert Rousseau, the collected pack provides useful identity evidence but limited lot-level market evidence.
