## About Dennis Orme Shaw

Dennis Orme Shaw is an artist born in 1944 whose work is documented by Art UK in public collections in Northern Ireland. Listed works include Figures in the Landscape, Woodland, Donaghadee, Cottages, Coney Island, Cook Street, Portaferry, Cottages near Cloughey, and We Have Seen the Light. These records indicate a recurring interest in landscapes, wooded settings, figures, cottages, streets, and coastal communities. Art UK identifies works held by the Northern Ireland Civil Service and Belfast City Hospital, providing useful institutional evidence for matching the artist's name and work. Collectors may also encounter Shaw through public auction records indexed by Appraisily. The available source pack does not establish a specific movement, nationality, complete biography, or detailed career chronology, so those points should remain open rather than inferred from the locations depicted or the collections holding his work.

## Common works and media

Art UK's documented titles point most clearly to landscapes, woodland scenes, figures in landscapes, cottages, streets, and coastal or village views. Places named in the records include Donaghadee, Coney Island, Portaferry, and Cloughey. Appraisily's auction index also groups matched records under paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture or mixed media, and decorative art or editions, but the source pack does not provide enough object-level detail to confirm how frequently each medium occurs. Medium, support, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, and edition status should therefore be checked on the individual work.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's collected market data reports public auction matches from 2006 through 2026, with 202 records and 97 priced records. Those observations describe the available dataset and should not be treated as a prediction for an individual work. A useful comparison should prioritize lots with similar medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, signature or inscriptions, attribution status, and provenance. Edition information matters when the object is a print or another multiple. Reported results may differ in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees, while private transactions and incomplete auction feeds may be absent. Because the source pack contains no independent auction-house market profile, any appraisal should verify the object directly and review the closest documented public comparables.

## 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. Coverage may be incomplete, so identity, attribution, condition, and object-level evidence should be verified for each appraisal.
