## About Horacio Cordero

Horacio Cordero is identified by Wikidata as a Nicaraguan artist. The collected public evidence does not provide birth or death dates, training, a career chronology, or a museum-backed biography, so those details remain unassigned. Wikimedia Commons records works under the name Horacio Cordero, including an oil portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, a self-portrait, and a large oil-on-canvas work titled Difesa-Della-Natura. These records suggest a practice that includes portraiture and nature-related painting, but they do not establish an artistic movement or define the artist’s complete body of work. Collectors may encounter the name in auction listings, yet identity matching requires care: the same-name English Wikipedia result concerns an Argentine football figure rather than the Nicaraguan artist. Research should therefore begin by confirming the signature, provenance, and artist identity through reliable documentation.

## Common works and media

The collected Commons records document paintings associated with the name Horacio Cordero. Examples include an oil portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, a self-portrait, and Difesa-Della-Natura, described as an oil-on-canvas painting measuring 280 by 160 cm. This limited evidence supports painting, portraiture, and self-portraiture as documented work types, but it is not sufficient to characterize the artist’s entire output or establish how frequently each type appears at auction.

## Market and appraisal context

For a work attributed to Horacio Cordero, identity and attribution are central appraisal questions because public search results include an unrelated namesake. The collected records support paintings, including portrait subjects and at least one large oil-on-canvas work, making medium, support, dimensions, and subject relevant points of comparison. The present source pack does not supply lot-level sale dates, realized prices, condition reports, provenance, edition details, or a documented chronology. Those elements should be established from the object and its records before selecting comparable sales. Any auction comparison should match the correct artist and favor works with similar medium, scale, subject, date when known, attribution strength, provenance, and condition.

## 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. For this artist, the current identity evidence is limited and should be supplemented with verified lot-level documentation.
