## About André Quellier

André Quellier (1925–2010) was a French painter whose identity and life years are consistently recorded by Wikidata, VIAF, and IdRef. Authority data also links him to work as an illustrator. The collected catalog evidence is modest but specific: it includes fixed-image records for portraits of the mime Marcel Marceau, including a portrait with a flowered hat, as well as a record for André Quellier postcards. A French-language secondary source describes him as a realist painter, although the authority sources in this pack do not assign him to a formal movement. Collectors may encounter his name in connection with paintings, portrait imagery, illustrations, postcard-format reproductions, and material dispersed from his studio. The surviving public identity record is stronger than the available art-historical or market documentation, so individual works should be evaluated from their own physical and provenance evidence rather than from broad assumptions about his practice.

## Common works and media

Documented examples in the collected sources include paintings, illustrations, fixed-image portraits of Marcel Marceau, and postcard material attributed to Quellier. The pack does not establish a complete catalogue of media or recurring subjects, so these are documented examples rather than an exhaustive description of his output.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected pack does not provide lot-level realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, or a sequence of comparable sales, so it cannot support a price range or market trend for André Quellier. Its useful market signal is categorical: authority records identify painting and illustration roles, while linked catalog entries document portrait subjects and postcard-format images; IdRef also cites a 2012 Paris studio sale. For appraisal, first establish that the object is correctly attributed and classify its work type and subject using available documentation. Then compare it only with public auction lots matching its medium, date, dimensions, condition, provenance, and sale context. Those object-level details must be verified separately.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched identity records with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are publicly available. For André Quellier, the present identity evidence is stronger than the collected lot-level market evidence.
