## About André Brouillet

André Brouillet (1857–1914), whose full name was Pierre Aristide André Brouillet, was a French painter and illustrator. Collected biographical sources describe him within the French academic tradition and identify genre scenes, portraits, and landscapes among his principal subjects. These categories place his work within the representational painting culture of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century France rather than a single named avant-garde movement. Collectors may encounter Brouillet through paintings as well as works connected with illustration, and authority records preserve several forms of his name, including Pierre-André Brouillet. That name variation matters when matching signatures, catalogue entries, collection records, and auction listings. His identity and 1857–1914 lifespan are corroborated by Wikidata, Getty ULAN, and VIAF, while the exact birth and death dates in this source pack come from the French-language biographical record. His documented range of portraits, narrative genre subjects, landscapes, and illustration provides the most useful context for recognizing works offered under his name.

## Common works and media

Works encountered under André Brouillet's name may include paintings of genre scenes, portraits, and landscapes, together with illustration-related material. The collected sources support painting and illustration as documented practices, but they do not establish a complete catalogue of media, named series, edition types, or recurring compositions. Classification should therefore follow the individual object's physical evidence and catalogue history.

## Market and appraisal context

Brouillet's auction context should be assessed by matching an object to his documented work types and then comparing it with relevant public sales attributed to the same artist. A portrait should be compared with portraits, for example, rather than treated as directly equivalent to a landscape or illustration-related work. Available sale dates and realized prices can help establish context, but this source pack does not provide enough lot-level evidence to state a price range or market trend. Any appraisal should therefore distinguish verified artist identity from object-specific questions and select comparable lots according to the work's medium, subject, date, dimensions, condition, provenance, and strength of attribution after those characteristics have been independently established.

## 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. Identity evidence and object-specific market evidence are evaluated separately.
