## About Eva Cerbu

Eva Cerbu is identified by public authority and reference records as a Romanian painter. Appraisily's auction index gives her lifespan as 1924–2008, although exact birth and death dates are not established in the collected source excerpts. Collectors may encounter her name primarily in connection with paintings and through auction records assigned to broader categories such as works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. Those labels describe the current market dataset and should not be read as a complete catalogue of her artistic practice. The index also matches records under the name Eva Siegler, but the collected authority material does not independently confirm that name as an alias. Because the available biography is limited, this profile keeps movement, subject, and career-period classifications open rather than assigning unsupported labels. Further museum, exhibition-catalogue, or archival research would help establish a fuller account of Cerbu's training, career, and body of work.

## Common works and media

Painting is the best-supported medium in the collected identity sources. The auction index also places records under works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Because those categories are broad and sparsely concentrated, they should be treated as search and comparison signals rather than proof that every listed format formed part of Cerbu's established practice. For appraisal purposes, the object's actual medium, support, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, condition, date, provenance, and attribution should be documented before selecting comparable lots.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's collected page snapshot reports 174 auction records dated from 2020 through 2025, with 165 priced results, a median realized result near $400, and an observed range of $100 to $10,000. These historical observations are not price predictions. A useful appraisal comparison should match medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration history, provenance, attribution confidence, signature or inscriptions, and, where applicable, edition details. Subject matter and current demand may also affect results. Reported prices can differ in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees, while private sales and incomplete auction feeds may leave gaps. Broad category labels should therefore be checked against photographs, catalogue descriptions, and other evidence for the individual object.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available.
