## About Charles Herbert Woodbury

Charles Herbert Woodbury (1864–1940) was an American painter best identified in the collected sources as a marine painter. Public authority records connect his name with Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and several museum artist records, helping distinguish him from similarly named people. A Dutch-language biographical entry also reports that he worked in the Netherlands from 1890 to 1895, including in Laren with his wife, Marcia Oakes Woodbury. Because that detail is available in this pack only through Wikipedia, it remains provisional pending confirmation from an institutional biography. Collectors are most likely to encounter Woodbury’s name in connection with marine subjects and auction catalogues. Appraisily’s directory contains hundreds of records associated with the public artist name, but this identity pack does not establish a complete catalogue of works, dominant medium, named series, or securely documented movement. Those questions should be resolved through object-level evidence and better-documented comparative works.

## Common works and media

Marine paintings are the clearest documented work type in the collected sources. The pack does not establish whether oils, watercolors, prints, drawings, or other formats dominate Woodbury’s auction history. Until object-level records are reviewed, marine subjects should be presented as the supported context without treating a broader medium mix, named series, or edition practice as settled fact.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected Appraisily signal indicates a sizable set of auction records associated with this name, while the available biographical sources characterize Woodbury as a marine painter. The most defensible appraisal comparison set begins with public sale records catalogued to the same artist and, where possible, lots sharing a marine subject. This source pack does not provide auction-house essays, object-level medium data, edition information, condition reports, provenance histories, or realized-price details. Those elements must be checked in the individual object and comparable-lot records before reaching a value conclusion. No price trend, market direction, scarcity claim, or authentication opinion can be supported from this pack alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with available auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Coverage varies, so identity evidence and object-level market records should be reviewed together.
