## About Eden Box

Eden Box (1919–1988) was a British painter also indexed under the abbreviated name E. Box and the alternate name Eden Fleming. Collected narrative material associates her painting with religious imagery presented through deliberate stylization and a naïve visual character. VIAF also connects her identity record with the titles The Expulsion, Holy City, and Stranger on the Shore. Box has stable authority records at Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and Tate, helping distinguish her from unrelated people and places sharing the words “Eden” or “Box.” Collectors primarily encounter her through paintings and through secondary-market records attributed to one of her indexed name forms. The available source pack establishes her identity and basic artistic context, but supplies little detail about her education, exhibitions, working chronology, or changes in style. Those gaps make signatures, inscriptions, provenance, and comparison with securely attributed works especially important when researching an individual object.

## Common works and media

Eden Box is documented principally as a painter, with religious scenes identified as a recurring subject in the collected narrative source. Authority data associates her with The Expulsion, Holy City, and Stranger on the Shore. Auction-index classifications also include works on paper, prints, mixed media, and editions, although the source pack does not independently confirm each as a regular part of her practice.

## Market and appraisal context

An Eden Box appraisal should begin with closely comparable works rather than an artist-wide average. The Appraisily market index groups matched records across paintings, works on paper and prints, mixed media, and edition-related categories, but those broad labels do not prove that every category represents a documented part of her practice. Relevant comparisons should align as closely as possible in medium, dimensions, date, subject, and condition. Signature form, inscriptions, restoration, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references may also affect how a work compares with public results. Auction records can omit private transactions and may report fees inconsistently, so observed prices should be interpreted as market evidence rather than a guaranteed valuation.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched identity records with matched auction data. When available, the market evidence includes auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots; private sales, incomplete feeds, attribution changes, and record-matching limitations may not be fully represented.
