## About Ernest David Roth

Ernest David Roth (1879–1964) was an American artist whose identity is represented across major cultural and bibliographic authority systems, including Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, MoMA, the British Museum, the National Gallery of Art, and RKD. The collected material directly identifies at least one etching by Roth: a 1923 view of Theodore Roosevelt’s birthplace in New York. It also includes a work titled A New Jersey Farm House, reinforcing an association with architectural and place-based subjects. These examples suggest why collectors may encounter Roth through prints and views of recognizable American buildings, although the available source pack is too limited to define his complete range of media or subjects. His presence in museum and authority records provides a stable basis for distinguishing him from similarly named artists and for matching auction records to the correct individual. No movement or school affiliation is asserted here because the collected sources do not provide adequate evidence for one.

## Common works and media

The source pack directly documents an etching of Theodore Roosevelt’s birthplace dated 1923 and a work titled A New Jersey Farm House. These records support architectural and historic-building views as documented subjects and etching as a documented medium. The available evidence does not establish whether paintings, drawings, other print processes, or numbered editions are common within Roth’s broader auction record.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily’s public artist page indicates that auction-price records are associated with Ernest David Roth, while the supplied source pack directly documents an etching and architectural subject matter. It does not provide the underlying lot descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, edition information, or attribution language needed for a defensible artist-specific market analysis. Accordingly, individual objects should be compared only with records that can be matched by medium, subject, date, physical characteristics, and attribution status. The evidence supplied here does not support a price forecast, market trend, scarcity statement, or premium for any particular subject.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. This profile uses institution and authority records for entity matching while preserving gaps where detailed market evidence was not included in the collected source pack.
