## About David Woodlock

David Woodlock (1842–1929) was an English painter whose identity is recorded by Wikidata, VIAF, and the Getty Union List of Artist Names. The surviving examples represented in this source pack show that his output included watercolour as well as painting more broadly. Documented subjects include figures in wooded or cottage settings and formal portraiture. These records give collectors useful reference points for distinguishing the artist from people with similar names and for describing works consistently in appraisal or auction research. Collectors may encounter Woodlock through watercolours and paintings carrying rural figure subjects, domestic landscape settings, or portraits. The available evidence does not establish a formal movement, school, complete exhibition history, or chronological series, so those associations should not be inferred without additional scholarly documentation. His authority-file presence and the public artwork records provide the clearest foundation for entity matching and further catalogue research.

## Common works and media

Publicly documented examples support paintings and watercolours as relevant work types. Subjects visible in the collected records include a maid on a wooded lane, a girl gathering flowers near a thatched cottage, and portrait subjects. These examples support rural figure scenes and portraiture as useful search and comparison categories, but they do not establish a complete catalogue of Woodlock's output.

## Market and appraisal context

David Woodlock has an established auction-record presence on Appraisily, but this source pack does not expose individual sale results or enough evidence to state a typical value range. Appraisal research should first confirm that a work belongs to the English painter recorded as living from 1842 to 1929. Relevant comparisons can then be narrowed by medium, work type, and subject, particularly when distinguishing watercolours, other paintings, rural figure scenes, and portraits. Comparable public auction records should be evaluated at lot level when available. No price trend, scarcity conclusion, or future-value prediction can be supported from the collected identity sources alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For David Woodlock, the present identity profile is grounded chiefly in public authority files and documented artwork records; lot-level market evidence should be reviewed separately.
