## About Felim Egan

Felim Egan is identified by international authority records as an Irish painter born in 1952. Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN link the name to a consistent person-level identity, while VIAF also clusters records from national libraries and ISNI. That authority trail is especially useful for distinguishing the artist in catalogues, collection databases, and auction records. Appraisily’s supplied directory input associates 316 records with his name, indicating that collectors may encounter attributed works in the secondary-market record. The collected material is much stronger on identity than on art history: it does not establish a specific movement, named series, recurring subject, exact technique, or full life chronology. Accordingly, this profile describes Egan conservatively as a painter and avoids adding stylistic labels that the available institutional evidence does not support. More detailed museum, estate, or catalogue sources would be needed to expand his artistic context with confidence.

## Common works and media

The authority pack supports only one medium-level statement: Felim Egan is a painter, so paintings are the only work type this profile can name confidently. It does not establish particular supports, techniques, subjects, series, editions, prints, sculptures, ceramics, drawings, or posters. Those details should be derived from catalogued objects and auction-house descriptions rather than inferred from the artist’s occupation.

## Market and appraisal context

The supplied Appraisily input contains 316 directory records associated with Felim Egan, but the collected source pack does not expose the underlying lot descriptions or results. It therefore cannot support a price trend, a typical price range, or conclusions about which formats sell most often. For appraisal work, the first defensible step is matching the object and catalogue attribution to the authority-controlled artist identity. Comparable public sales should then be selected only from lot-level records with usable descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, and clearly comparable object characteristics. Any result lacking a reliable identity match or adequate lot detail should be treated cautiously.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine authority-based identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Here, identity evidence is adequate, but lot-level and art-historical context remains limited.
