## About Eugène Baboulène

Eugène Baboulène (1905–1994) was a French figurative painter and lithographer associated with Toulon, where the collected French-language biography places both his birth and death. Authority and bibliographic records also connect him with drawing, engraving, and illustration, extending his documented practice beyond easel painting to graphic and book-related work. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on paintings, drawings, lithographs, engravings, and illustrated publications. The available evidence is strongest on identity: Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, IdRef, and the BnF catalogue connect stable authority records with the same French artist. It is thinner on his artistic chronology, named series, recurring subjects, and institutional holdings. One biographical point remains unresolved: Wikidata and the collected Wikipedia records use 1905 as his birth year, while IdRef gives 1906. This profile follows 1905 provisionally while preserving that discrepancy for further verification.

## Common works and media

Authority records document Baboulène as a painter and lithographer and also associate him with drawing, engraving, and illustration. Works encountered in appraisal or auction contexts may therefore include paintings, works on paper, lithographs, engravings, and illustrated publications. The collected evidence does not support a more specific claim about his most frequent subjects or named series.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily’s public artist index associates 271 auction records with Eugène Baboulène. Those records provide a starting point for comparison, but the collected source pack does not break them down by medium or establish which categories appear most often. A careful appraisal should first compare like with like—such as paintings with paintings or lithographs with similar graphic works—and then review sale dates and realized prices for relevant public records. The present evidence does not support claims about price direction, scarcity, or record results. It also does not establish how condition, provenance, dimensions, editions, signatures, subjects, or creation dates affect Baboulène’s market specifically.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Identity conflicts and gaps are retained rather than silently resolved.
