## About Bryan Organ

Bryan Organ, born in 1935, is a British artist best known for portrait painting. His documented subjects include prominent public figures and members of the British royal family, placing his work within the context of twentieth-century British portraiture. The National Portrait Gallery is reported to hold a substantial group of his portraits, including examples commissioned by the gallery’s trustees. Organ’s practice is not limited to portraiture: published summaries also identify landscape and architectural subjects, including St Pancras Station, as well as lithographic studies of animals. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on painted portraits, landscapes, architectural scenes, lithographs, and works on paper rather than on a single uniform category of object. The collected evidence does not establish a formal affiliation with a named artistic movement, so his work is described here through its documented media, subjects, and portrait-painting context.

## Common works and media

Works associated with Bryan Organ include painted portraits of public and royal figures, landscape and architectural paintings, and lithographic animal studies. Auction and appraisal searches may consequently surface both paintings and works on paper. The source pack does not establish specific edition sizes, catalogue numbers, or a complete chronology for these categories.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal comparisons should distinguish Organ’s painted portraits and landscapes from his lithographic animal studies. Medium and subject are useful first-stage matching criteria within the available evidence. For portraits, a documented sitter identity or commission can provide important cataloguing context, particularly when the subject is a recognized public figure. Appraisily’s artist page indicates that auction-price records are associated with his work, but this source pack supplies no individual lot descriptions or realized results. It therefore cannot establish a price trend, typical value, or direct comparison for a particular object. A valuation should use verified details about the work together with genuinely comparable public auction records rather than relying on the artist name alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records and auction-house context. When records are available, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots can help assess a specific work; those records must still be matched to the object’s documented characteristics.
