## About Henry D'Anty

Henry d'Anty (1910–1998), born Maurice Henry, was a French painter. The available biographical excerpt places his birth on 8 September 1910 in the Belleville district of Paris and his death on 4 December 1998 in Villejuif. His identity is linked to records at Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, ISNI, RKD, the BnF, and Art UK, which helps distinguish him from similarly named artists in catalogues and auction data. The collected evidence securely establishes his occupation and lifespan, but it does not substantiate a particular movement, school, set of subjects, or named series. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter him through works catalogued as paintings and through auction records indexed under the d'Anty name. Any broader stylistic description should be based on a specific work or stronger catalogue evidence rather than inferred from the artist's name alone.

## Common works and media

The collected sources identify Henry d'Anty as a painter, making paintings the only securely supported broad work type in this profile. They do not establish recurring subjects, named series, print editions, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, posters, or other media. Cataloguing for a particular object should therefore rely on its physical characteristics and documented history.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's input associates 182 auction records with Henry D'Anty, but the collected page response did not expose individual lots, sale dates, realized prices, or auction-house descriptions. The defensible appraisal starting point is therefore identity: establish whether an object is attributed to the same French painter represented by the authority records, then compare it only with public records whose cataloguing and work category are visible. The present source pack supports paintings as a broad auction category but not artist-specific conclusions about subject, period, edition, condition, provenance, scarcity, or market direction. Those characteristics should be assessed from the object and matched lot records rather than inferred from the artist's name.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. This source pack establishes the artist's core identity but provides only a record-count signal, not accessible lot-level market evidence.
