## About Jacques Lalande

Jacques Lalande (1921–2003) was a French painter and graphic artist associated with figurative work. Wikidata and VIAF distinguish him from other people with the same surname and identify him as a French painter, while the collected French and German biographical pages describe a representational practice. The French profile records his birth in Châteaurenard and death in Port-Marly and notes children and landscapes among his recurring subjects. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Lalande through paintings, works on paper, and graphic works rather than through a documented avant-garde movement or named series. Appraisily's matched records show that his name appears in public auctions, but the collected sources do not provide a museum biography, catalogue raisonné, or estate record establishing a fuller chronology. Identification should consequently be anchored to the 1921–2003 French artist authority records, then tested against signatures, medium, subject, date, provenance, and the particulars of the individual work.

## Common works and media

Collected biographical sources describe Lalande as a figurative painter and graphic artist whose subjects included children and landscapes. In auction and appraisal settings, the best-supported categories are paintings and works on paper or prints. The source pack does not establish a documented sculpture practice, named series, standard edition history, or complete chronology, so those classifications should be verified from the individual object's medium, inscriptions, provenance, and catalogue documentation.

## Market and appraisal context

Public auction evidence in Appraisily's artist index includes fine-art paintings and works on paper or prints. For appraisal, compare an object with records matching its medium, dimensions, date or period, subject, and attribution status. Condition, restoration, surface quality, signatures, inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can all affect comparability. Recent realized prices are most useful when the lots are genuinely similar and their reporting basis is understood. Public records should not be treated as a complete market: private transactions, incomplete feeds, attribution revisions, and differing treatment of buyer premiums may limit direct comparisons. A defensible conclusion therefore requires object-specific examination rather than reliance on an artist-wide median or observed price range alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Private sales and incomplete or revised records may not be represented.
