## About George Lance

George Lance (1802–1864) was a British painter, described in English-language sources as an English artist. Public authority and museum records consistently identify the same nineteenth-century figure, while collected encyclopedia entries associate him particularly with still-life painting and portrait miniatures. These identity details help distinguish him from unrelated people who may share the name. Collectors are most likely to encounter Lance through paintings assigned to those two categories, though the supplied research pack does not establish a complete catalogue of his media, subjects, or works. His profiles at Tate and several international authority services provide a strong framework for matching records to the 1802–1864 artist. Appraisily’s input reports 171 auction-directory records, but each listing still needs work-level review before drawing conclusions about attribution, date, medium, or market standing.

## Common works and media

Collected public-source excerpts identify painting as Lance’s occupation and associate him specifically with still-life works and portrait miniatures. The source pack does not establish a broader list of recurring media, subjects, editions, or named series, so objects outside these documented categories should be researched individually.

## Market and appraisal context

Market review should begin by confirming that a work is attributed to the British painter George Lance who lived from 1802 to 1864. Available evidence supports separating still-life paintings from portrait miniatures when selecting relevant comparisons, since the supplied sources document these as distinct parts of his practice. The input count identifies 171 Appraisily auction-directory records, but the research pack contains no individual auction-house descriptions or realized prices. Those records should therefore be reviewed at lot level and matched by work type and sale date; the aggregate count alone does not establish a price level, trend, authenticity, or attribution.

## 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. Aggregate record counts are not substitutes for reviewing individual works and sales.
