## About George Alfred Bottini

Georges Alfred Bottini, commonly known as George Bottini, was a French painter and works-on-paper artist born in Paris in 1874. Public identity records place his death in 1907, while the available biographical source describes him as a painter, draughtsman, illustrator, watercolorist, and printmaker. These overlapping practices explain why collectors may encounter his name on paintings as well as drawings, watercolors, illustrations, and prints. His short life gives his documented activity a relatively narrow chronological setting, but the collected sources do not securely assign him to a named movement or establish a definitive chronology of styles and subjects. Stable records at Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, the British Museum, and the National Gallery of Art help distinguish Bottini from similarly named artists. Appraisal research should connect an individual object to this documented identity while treating its medium, date, authorship, and auction history as separate questions requiring object-specific evidence.

## Common works and media

The collected biography documents Bottini's activity in painting, drawing, watercolor, illustration, and printmaking. Accordingly, auction and appraisal searches may encounter both paintings and works on paper, including drawings, watercolors, illustrated material, and prints. The source pack does not establish a reliable hierarchy of subjects, periods, series, or edition formats, so those characteristics should be described from the individual object and its documentation rather than generalized.

## Market and appraisal context

George Bottini has an established presence in the supplied Appraisily auction dataset, but the source pack does not include enough lot-level evidence to characterize price trends or rank one category above another. A responsible appraisal should first identify whether the object is a painting, watercolor, drawing, illustration, or print, then compare it with publicly reported sales of genuinely similar works. Creation date, dimensions, condition, provenance, signatures, inscriptions, and the auction house's attribution language may matter in an object-level assessment, but none of those details should be assumed from the artist name alone. Realized prices also require their sale dates, currencies, premiums, and lot context before comparison.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with associated auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Identity links and market observations are kept distinct so that an authority record is not treated as proof of an individual object's authorship or value.
