## About Douglas Arthur Teed

Douglas Arthur Teed was an American painter whose authority records associate him with landscape, genre, and still-life painting. Public identity sources agree on his 1929 death year but do not fully agree on his birth year: Wikidata and a VIAF cluster linked to Library of Congress use 1860, while Getty-derived VIAF data uses 1864. Appraisily therefore treats 1860 as the stronger current value while preserving the conflict for review. Teed's documented subject range places his work within familiar categories of American easel painting: views of landscape, scenes of everyday life, and still-life arrangements. Collectors may encounter his name as Douglas Arthur Teed, Arthur Teed, or D. Arthur Teed, so name matching matters when relating an object to authority and auction records. The available sources establish a credible artist identity and working categories, but they do not provide a detailed museum biography, exhibition history, training record, or securely documented chronology. Those gaps should remain separate from conclusions based on an individual work.

## Common works and media

Authority records describe Teed as a painter, landscapist, genre artist, and still-life artist. Accordingly, the most defensible common-work categories are paintings of landscapes, everyday or narrative genre subjects, and still-life compositions. The source pack does not establish a recurring print, sculpture, ceramic, poster, or edition practice, so those media should not be presented as typical without object-specific evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

Douglas Arthur Teed's market context is best approached through paintings classified by subject, especially landscape, genre, and still life. When comparing an object with public auction records, the closest evidence should match work type and subject and should identify the recorded artist consistently across name variants. Sale date, realized price, and the comparability of each lot matter more than a broad artist-level figure. The collected source pack confirms that Appraisily maintains an auction-price page for Teed, but it does not include lot-level descriptions, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, attribution language, or images. Those details must be checked in the relevant auction record and against the object being appraised. The unresolved 1860/1864 birth-year discrepancy is an identity-record issue, not evidence for or against the authenticity or value of a particular work.

## 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. Identity conflicts and missing lot-level evidence are retained as limitations rather than filled by assumption.
