## About Carducius Plantagenet Ream

Carducius Plantagenet Ream (1837–1917) was an American painter associated primarily with still-life subjects, especially arrangements of fruit. He is also identified as C. P. Ream, while some biographical references give his first name as Cadurcis rather than Carducius. Because available public sources do not resolve that spelling consistently, the variants should be considered together when matching signatures, catalog entries, and authority records. The collected evidence supports describing Ream as a still-life painter but does not establish a specific movement, school, or formal series. Collectors encounter his name chiefly in connection with paintings of fruit and related still-life compositions. Appraisily's input groups 211 auction records under this artist identity, indicating a meaningful body of market references, although the present source pack does not expose the individual lot details. Authority links from Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, RKD, and the National Gallery of Art provide useful anchors for entity matching.

## Common works and media

Works most plausibly encountered under this artist's name are paintings classified as still lifes, especially compositions featuring fruit. The collected sources do not establish documented print editions, sculpture, ceramics, posters, named series, or other recurring work types, so those categories should not be inferred without object-specific evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

The clearest auction classification supported by the source pack is still-life painting, particularly fruit still lifes. A careful appraisal should first resolve the artist identity across the Carducius, Cadurcis, and C. P. Ream name forms. Relevant comparisons should then be drawn from genuinely similar public auction records, with attention to the stated attribution, subject, medium, dimensions, date, condition, provenance, sale date, and realized price when those details are available. The current pack signals a substantial group of associated records but contains no reviewable lot-level evidence, so it does not support a price forecast, market trend, or claim about rarity. Any valuation should therefore rely on verified object evidence and closely matched sales rather than the aggregate record count alone.

## 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. This profile preserves uncertainty where the collected sources do not provide reviewable biographical or lot-level detail.
