## About Alfredo Pina

Alfredo Pina is the public-page name used here for the sculptor identified in major authority records as Alfred Pina (1887–1966). Wikidata describes him as French, VIAF associates him with both France and Italy, and French- and German-language biographical records describe an Italian origin and a career connected with France. The French-language record gives Milan as his birthplace and Mesves-sur-Loire as his place of death. Across the collected sources, sculpture is the consistent occupational and artistic context. No well-supported movement, recurring subject, named series, or specific material is established by this source pack, so those details should not be inferred. For collectors, the name is most likely to appear in sculpture cataloguing and auction-record contexts. Matching the variants “Alfredo Pina” and “Alfred Pina” to stable identifiers from Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, and the National Gallery of Art helps reduce mistaken identity when reviewing a work or comparable sale.

## Common works and media

The source pack supports sculpture as the principal work type associated with Pina. It does not provide enough reliable detail to name recurring materials, subjects, editions, foundries, series, or formats. Candidate works should therefore be described from the object itself, with the material, measurements, inscriptions, casting details, and attribution recorded before auction comparisons are made.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should first establish whether the catalogued artist is the same Alfred Pina represented by the linked authority records, because the public page uses Alfredo while the authorities favor Alfred. The collected material supports sculpture as the broad comparison category but does not establish specific materials, dimensions, casting history, editions, foundries, subjects, or signature conventions. Those characteristics therefore require object-level documentation before comparables are selected. When public auction records are available, compare like work types and review the auction house, sale date, realized price, attribution wording, and closeness of each lot to the object being assessed. The source pack does not support a price forecast or trend claim, and the record count should be treated as a discovery signal rather than proof that every result concerns the same kind of work.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity and authority links with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Gaps in the collected evidence are retained rather than filled with unsupported claims.
