## About Gaspard Dughet

Gaspard Dughet was a French painter active in the seventeenth century and born in Rome. Authority data gives his life dates as 1613–1675, although an Art UK identifier in the collected source pack uses 1615 as the birth year, so that detail merits further verification. He is also widely encountered as Gaspard Poussin, a name associated with his close personal and artistic connection to his brother-in-law Nicolas Poussin. Dughet is chiefly known for landscape painting. His identity is complicated by historical spelling and cataloguing variants, including Caspar Dughet and Caspar Poussin, which matter when matching museum, library, and auction records. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter his name in connection with seventeenth-century landscape paintings, engravings, or records filed under a Poussin variant. Appraisily treats these aliases as identity-matching aids, not as evidence that every work carrying one of the names is securely attributed to Dughet.

## Common works and media

Dughet is most consistently associated with seventeenth-century landscape paintings. One collected source also identifies him as an engraver, although that aspect of his output has thinner support in this source pack. Auction, museum, and library records may file works under Gaspard Poussin, Caspar Dughet, Caspar Poussin, or other historical spellings. Those variants should be searched when researching a possible work, while remaining separate from conclusions about authorship or attribution.

## Market and appraisal context

For a work offered as Gaspard Dughet, attribution and the exact cataloguing name are central because authority files preserve numerous Dughet and Poussin variants. Landscape subject matter and work type should be compared with documented examples and relevant public auction records. Condition, provenance, dimensions, date, medium, and the quality of the attribution can affect the usefulness of any comparison. The collected source pack does not include individual sale results or a major-auction-house biography, so it cannot support a price prediction or market-trend claim. A defensible appraisal requires object-level examination and comparable lots matched by medium, subject, period, attribution, condition, and sale date.

## 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. Source limitations and unresolved identity conflicts are retained rather than converted into unsupported certainty.
