## About Jacob El Hanani

Jacob El Hanani, born in 1947, is identified in public authority records as an Israeli painter. VIAF aggregates name forms including Jacob El Hanani and Jakob El Hanani and also carries a Getty-derived description of him as a Moroccan draftsman active in the United States. These records establish documented connections to painting and drawing while showing why careful entity matching matters across catalogues: spelling, name order, national descriptors, and authority identifiers vary. The collected source pack also identifies artist-profile URLs at the Museum of Modern Art and the National Gallery of Art, although substantive text from those museum pages was not retrieved. The available evidence therefore does not support assigning El Hanani to a specific movement or identifying signature subjects, named series, training, or a detailed career chronology. Collectors can use his authority identifiers and alternate name form to consolidate auction records and distinguish his work from that of similarly named artists.

## Common works and media

Available authority records identify El Hanani as a painter and draftsman, making paintings and drawings the only work types supported by the collected evidence. The source pack does not establish particular materials, techniques, subjects, named series, editions, print practices, sculpture, ceramics, or posters. More specific descriptions should be added only after examining documented museum objects, catalogues, or attributable auction lots.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily’s input inventory associates 179 auction entries with Jacob El Hanani. That count indicates catalogue presence but is not, by itself, evidence of value, demand, or a price trend. The collected source pack does not contain individual lot descriptions, dimensions, dates, estimates, realized prices, condition information, provenance, or attribution notes, so it cannot establish which kinds of works appear most often or command different results. An appraisal should begin by confirming the artist match across spelling variants and authority identifiers. Relevant public auction records should then be compared only when their work type, catalogue description, sale date, attribution, and result can be verified; the directory count alone should not be used as a valuation conclusion.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records and auction-house context. When supporting records are available, appraisal research considers comparable lots, sale dates, catalogue attribution, and realized prices while keeping identity evidence separate from market conclusions.
