## About Jannes de Vries

Jannes de Vries (1901–1986) was a Dutch painter and graphic designer. Authority records from Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and RKD align around the same artist identity, helping distinguish him in catalogues and auction databases. A Dutch-language biographical source also associates him with the Groningen artists’ circle De Ploeg, although the collected pack does not contain institution-grade support for that affiliation, so it remains provisional here. Collectors may encounter his name attached to paintings, works on paper, prints, or other catalogued objects, but the available sources do not establish a reliable medium-by-medium distribution or documented subjects and series. Appraisily’s matched market page nevertheless contains numerous public auction records under his name. For identification and appraisal, the authority-linked identity, dates, object-specific medium, signature or inscriptions, provenance, condition, and comparison with closely similar lots should be considered together.

## Common works and media

The collected market page groups matched records into broad categories: fine art and paintings; works on paper and prints; sculpture and mixed media; and decorative art and editions. Those labels do not demonstrate that Jannes de Vries worked equally across every category. The strongest identity sources specifically describe him as a painter and graphic designer. For appraisal intake, document the exact support or material, dimensions, technique, signature and inscriptions, edition number if present, condition, provenance, and any exhibition or catalogue references before selecting comparable sales.

## Market and appraisal context

At collection time, Appraisily’s public market index reported 192 matched records, including 137 priced records, across a 2005–2026 auction-date range. These records can help locate comparables, but they do not replace object-level review. Relevant comparisons should match medium, dimensions, date or career period, condition and restoration, signature or inscription details, edition information where applicable, provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, subject matter, and attribution confidence. Reported results may not be directly comparable when fee conventions differ, while private sales and incomplete feeds may be absent. Because the source pack does not establish a dependable category distribution, broad auction labels should be verified against each object and lot record.

## 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 transactions, incomplete feeds, and attribution changes may not be represented.
