## About Charles Cobelle

Charles Cobelle (1902–1994), reportedly born Carl Edelman in Alsace-Lorraine, was a French artist associated with painting, lithography, and mural work. The available biography places him within an open-line School of Paris tradition, although the collected source pack does not contain a museum, foundation, or scholarly record that independently establishes that association. Collectors are most likely to encounter Cobelle through paintings, lithographs, prints, and other works on paper. His broad auction presence also means that records may cover objects of different media, sizes, dates, and attribution quality rather than a single uniform body of work. Cobelle's birth and death years are corroborated by Wikidata and Wikipedia, while details such as his birth name, exact birthplace, training, exhibitions, and artistic affiliations currently rely on thinner public documentation. Those details should therefore be treated as provisional until supported by stronger institutional or archival sources.

## Common works and media

Auction and biographical sources most consistently identify paintings, lithographs, prints, murals, and works on paper. Appraisily also groups some matched records under sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions, but these broader classifications should be checked against each lot's catalogue description before they are treated as characteristic Cobelle work types.

## Market and appraisal context

Charles Cobelle has an extensive set of matched public auction records on Appraisily, spanning paintings, works on paper, prints, editions, and other broadly classified objects. A useful comparison should match the submitted work as closely as possible by medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, signature or inscriptions, edition details, provenance, and attribution confidence. Restoration history and surface quality may also distinguish an individual work from otherwise similar results. Public realized prices are evidence points rather than automatic valuations: reporting may differ on buyer premiums and fees, private transactions may be absent, and database matches can change when attribution is revised. A defensible appraisal should therefore examine several closely comparable lots and verify the identity and physical characteristics of the object being valued.

## Appraisily data basis

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