## About Edmond Malassis

Edmond Malassis (1874–1944) was a French painter and illustrator associated with Paris. Library authority data distinguishes him as a historical person and confirms the life years used to match records across collections and bibliographic systems. Public biographical sources give the more precise dates of 14 December 1874 and 3 September 1944 and identify Paris as both his birthplace and place of death. The available evidence supports describing his practice broadly as painting and illustration, but it does not establish a particular movement, school, named series, or recurring subject. That distinction is useful for collectors: records credited to Malassis may relate to either autonomous painted work or material produced in an illustrative context, and the available sources do not justify treating every object under his name as belonging to one uniform category. Authority identifiers and date matching therefore provide the strongest current basis for separating Edmond Malassis from similarly named people and for connecting auction references to the correct artist.

## Common works and media

Public identity sources describe Edmond Malassis as both a painter and an illustrator. The collected evidence does not establish more specific media, named series, recurring subjects, print editions, or other reliably common work types. Objects offered under his name should therefore be classified from their own materials and documented context rather than from an assumed catalogue of typical production.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected identity sources do not provide enough public lot-level evidence to characterize Edmond Malassis's auction market, establish price patterns, or name dominant sale categories. An appraisal should therefore begin with the individual object and then compare it with verified auction records carrying the same artist identity and compatible work type. The present source pack does not document signatures, editions, condition, provenance, dates of execution, or recurring subjects, so none should be presumed. Realized prices are most useful when the compared lots have sufficiently similar characteristics and when the attribution and sale details can be checked in their original auction context.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched identity records with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For Edmond Malassis, the current source pack supports identity and broad occupational context more strongly than detailed market conclusions.
