## About Fernand Herbo

Fernand Herbo (1905–1995) was a French painter and lithographer associated with Montmartre and, later, Honfleur in Normandy. The available biographical source places his birth in Orchies on March 28, 1905, and his death in Équemauville on August 21, 1995. It also records his appointment as a painter of the French Navy in 1944, an official distinction within his career. Collectors may encounter Herbo through paintings and lithographs offered under his name, although the collected sources do not provide enough detail to assign him securely to a particular movement or to identify a definitive hierarchy of subjects, techniques, or named series. His authority records across Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, ISNI, RKD, GND, and the Bibliothèque nationale de France help distinguish him from similarly named artists and provide stable identifiers for cataloguing, collection research, and auction-record matching.

## Common works and media

Collectors and appraisers may encounter paintings and lithographs attributed to Fernand Herbo. The collected sources do not establish specific painting techniques, recurring subjects, edition sizes, named series, or a catalogue of authenticated works, so those details should not be inferred from the artist name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

The available evidence supports two broad work types for Fernand Herbo: paintings and lithographs. An appraisal should first establish which category applies and then compare the object with genuinely similar public sales rather than treating every work attributed to Herbo as equivalent. Appraisily records may provide sale dates, realized prices, auction-house context, and comparable lots when accessible. This source pack, however, contains no retrieved lot descriptions, condition reports, provenance histories, edition information, or realized-price data. It therefore does not support claims about price direction, scarcity, premium subjects, or likely value. Attribution and the physical characteristics of the specific object still require direct examination and documentary evidence.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This profile distinguishes documented identity facts from market details that remain unsupported by the collected source pack.
