## About Felix Schlesinger

Felix Schlesinger (1833–1910) was a German painter associated in public reference sources with genre painting and the Düsseldorf school. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name on narrative scenes rather than abstract or purely decorative work. Authority-linked titles point to recurring images of children, household activity, animals, markets, harvests, kitchens, hunting, and country life. Titles including Boy with kitten, Children collecting eggs, Children playing in the kitchen, At the market, and At the plum harvest illustrate that range without establishing a complete catalogue of his output. These themes place his work within the nineteenth-century market for accessible, story-driven pictures of everyday life. Schlesinger is represented across Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and other authority systems, helping distinguish him from people with similar names. The available sources are stronger on identity and named works than on his training, exhibitions, chronology, or institutional holdings.

## Common works and media

Public authority data identifies Schlesinger as a painter, while reference excerpts describe him as a genre painter. Authority-linked titles include children with animals, egg collecting, kitchen play, markets, plum harvesting, and post-hunt scenes. The collected sources do not establish specific paint media, print editions, sculpture, ceramics, or a complete catalogue, so those work types should not be assumed.

## Market and appraisal context

For appraisal purposes, the available evidence supports distinguishing child-centered domestic or rural scenes, market and harvest subjects, hunting-related scenes, and other genre compositions associated with Schlesinger's name. Public auction comparisons should be matched by work type and subject, with title variants checked against authority records. The collected source pack does not provide dimensions, specific materials, dates, condition reports, provenance, edition information, or realized-price details, so it cannot support a price conclusion or market-trend statement. A valuation should therefore examine the object itself and use verified comparable lots with disclosed sale dates and realized prices instead of relying on artist-name matching alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For Felix Schlesinger, the present source pack provides stronger identity and subject evidence than detailed market evidence.
