## About Jean Souverbie

Jean Souverbie (1891–1981) was a French painter and theatre decorator whose identity is represented in Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, and several national-library authority systems. Catalogued titles linked to him include Card Players, Chevaux antiques, a mythological composition identified as a print, and a three-dimensional stage-design model for Ariane. These records place his documented practice across painting, graphic work, and theatrical design, with card players, horses, antique themes, and mythology appearing in the available subject evidence. The collected sources do not provide reliable support for assigning Souverbie to a specific named movement, so this profile avoids imposing one. Collectors may encounter his name in connection with paintings, works on paper, prints, and theatre-related designs. Authority identifiers are particularly useful when matching abbreviated auction descriptions or dispersed catalogue records to the correct French artist.

## Common works and media

Documented work types associated with Souverbie include paintings, prints or other graphic works, and three-dimensional stage-design maquettes. Titles preserved in authority records point to card players, horses with antique associations, and mythological compositions. These examples establish the range visible in the collected evidence, but they do not prove the relative auction frequency of each category.

## Market and appraisal context

The available evidence supports distinguishing Souverbie's paintings from prints, graphic works, and theatrical maquettes when selecting comparable material. Subject descriptions such as card players, horses, antique themes, or mythological compositions may further narrow the comparison. Appraisily has an auction-record signal for the artist, but the collected source pack contains no detailed major auction-house analysis and does not substantiate price trends, scarcity claims, or a market hierarchy among work types. A careful appraisal should therefore use public comparable lots that align as closely as possible in work type and subject, considering sale dates and realized prices when those records are available rather than treating a broad artist-wide figure as predictive.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research and stable authority links with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available.
