## About Jean Bertholle

Jean Bertholle (1909–1996) was a French painter and engraver associated in biographical sources with the Nouvelle École de Paris, or New Paris School. Born in Dijon and dying in Paris, he developed a practice that extended beyond easel painting into engraving, lithography, sacred art, ceramics, mosaics, stained glass, tapestry, and stage design. This breadth matters for collectors because his name may appear on objects made for different techniques and settings, not only on paintings. Auction and appraisal research should therefore begin by identifying the exact medium and format and distinguishing unique works from graphic or applied-art objects. Bertholle's authority records and linked public profiles help separate him from similarly named creators, while the Appraisily artist page connects that identity to available auction records. The collected evidence supports a clear identity, although detailed institutional scholarship in this source pack is limited.

## Common works and media

Collectors may encounter Jean Bertholle through paintings, engravings, lithographs, and other graphic works. Public biographical sources also document activity in ceramics, mosaics, stained glass, tapestry, sacred art, and stage design. Because these formats differ materially, an appraisal should identify the technique and object type before selecting comparable auction records.

## Market and appraisal context

Jean Bertholle's market context should be considered by medium and object type. Paintings, lithographs and other graphic works, ceramics, mosaics, stained glass, tapestries, and stage-related designs are not directly comparable merely because they share the same artist name. Appraisal research should match a candidate object to public auction records with a similar technique and format, then examine sale date and realized price when those records are available. A complete appraisal also requires separate object-level evidence about dimensions, condition, provenance, signatures, and any edition information. The collected source pack does not provide artist-specific rules or lot-level examples for those factors, so this profile offers context for comparable-sales research rather than a price prediction.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records and auction-house context. When available, sale dates, realized prices, work descriptions, and comparable lots provide the evidence base for object-specific appraisal research.
