## About Antoine Bouvard

Antoine Bouvard is the name associated in the collected identity records with French painter Éloi-Noël Béraud, born in 1875 and deceased in 1957. The French Wikipedia record also documents Marc-Aldine as another signature name. Collectors encounter Antoine Bouvard principally through paintings and a substantial body of matched public auction records. The available institutional sources confirm the broader identity as a French painter, but this source pack does not establish a particular movement, school, training history, or securely documented series. It also contains an important conflict: Art UK lists an Antoine Bouvard with the dates 1870–1956. That record may describe a separate individual or reflect historical conflation, and the supplied evidence does not settle the question. Attribution should therefore consider the exact signature, provenance, subject, materials, and supporting documentation rather than relying on the Bouvard surname alone.

## Common works and media

The collected evidence supports paintings as the principal work type associated with Antoine Bouvard. Appraisily's auction index also places matched records in works-on-paper and print categories. The source pack does not provide sufficiently reliable evidence to name recurring subjects, formal series, edition practices, or a distinct sculptural or decorative-art practice. For appraisal purposes, each object should therefore be classified from its actual materials, technique, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, and provenance before comparison with auction records.

## Market and appraisal context

Antoine Bouvard has hundreds of name-matched records in Appraisily's public auction dataset, giving collectors a useful pool of comparable sales. A valuation should still be built from closely similar works rather than a single overall median or price range. Relevant differences include medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, provenance, exhibition or catalogue history, subject matter, and the strength of the attribution. Reporting practices may differ over whether realized prices include buyer premiums or other fees. Private sales, incomplete feeds, and subsequent attribution revisions can also affect the apparent market picture. Because the collected identity sources disagree on the artist's dates, confirming which Bouvard is represented by a work is a necessary part of appraisal research.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Private transactions, incomplete feeds, reporting differences, and attribution revisions may not be fully represented.
