## About Andrew Plimer

Andrew Plimer (1763–1837) was a British artist associated with miniature painting. The collected biographical material also identifies him as the brother of Nathaniel Plimer, another miniature painter. Plimer worked across the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, a period in which portable, closely observed painted miniatures formed a distinct part of British artistic practice. Collectors may encounter his name on small-scale paintings, in museum and authority records, and in auction catalogues. His identity is represented across several established reference systems, including Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, RKD, the British Museum, and Art UK. The present source pack does not provide enough evidence to assign him to a specific movement or school, describe a complete career chronology, or identify a securely documented series. Attribution should therefore rest on object-specific evidence rather than on the artist name alone.

## Common works and media

The collected evidence identifies Plimer as a painter of miniatures. Accordingly, miniature paintings are the clearest work type to expect in auction and appraisal contexts. This source pack does not establish a broader body of paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, ceramics, posters, editions, or named series, and it does not provide enough detail to define his usual subjects with confidence.

## Market and appraisal context

Andrew Plimer's auction context is principally associated here with miniature paintings. An appraisal should establish that the artist has been identified correctly and compare the object with relevant public auction records rather than relying on the name alone. Useful comparisons normally require object-level information such as the work type, dimensions, date, attribution wording, condition, provenance, and sale result, but those details are not contained in this source pack. Appraisily's artist page indicates that auction-price records are available; however, the supplied material does not support a price range, market trend, scarcity statement, or authentication conclusion. Any valuation should therefore be tied to documented comparable lots and the specific characteristics of the work under review.

## 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. Conclusions remain limited by the detail and reliability of the underlying sources.
