## About Haughton Forrest

Haughton Forrest (1826–1925) was an Australian artist and painter associated in surviving reference records with landscape and maritime imagery. Public descriptions emphasize those two subject areas rather than a named movement or school. He is sometimes catalogued under the incorrect expanded name “James Haughton Forrest,” so careful entity matching matters when searching collection and auction records. Authority identifiers link him across Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, ISNI, and RKD, although several of those endpoints were rate-limited when this source pack was collected. Appraisily’s directory currently groups 342 entries under his public artist name, making him a recurring figure in auction-search and appraisal contexts. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with painted landscapes, maritime subjects, and works requiring precise maker identification. The available evidence supports the broad identity and subject profile, but not a detailed account of training, chronology, named series, or movement affiliation.

## Common works and media

Works encountered under Haughton Forrest’s name are most plausibly paintings featuring landscapes or maritime scenes. The collected sources do not establish particular named series, print editions, sculpture, ceramics, or a more specific painting medium such as oil or watercolor, so those details should be determined from the individual object and its cataloguing.

## Market and appraisal context

The source pack supports artist identification and subject classification more strongly than artist-specific pricing conclusions. An appraisal should first match the maker to Haughton Forrest rather than the incorrect name James Haughton Forrest, then classify the subject as landscape or maritime where appropriate. The collected pack does not provide accessible major-auction-house cataloguing or detailed sale evidence from which to establish a price pattern. Appraisily auction entries can supply sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available, but each record should be reviewed individually. The artist name and number of indexed entries alone do not establish authenticity, condition, quality, or value.

## 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.
