## About Johan Frederik Cornelis Scherrewitz

Johan Frederik Cornelis Scherrewitz (1868–1951), also catalogued as Johan Scherrewitz, was a Dutch painter and watercolorist. Authority records identify him as a landscape painter from the Netherlands, while reference summaries associate his work with the later continuation of the Hague School and note an influence from the Barbizon School. His documented subjects center on landscapes, beach views, and scenes of rural life, frequently incorporating people or animals. These themes place his work within the naturalistic landscape traditions active during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with paintings and watercolors rather than editioned or sculptural work. His full name is important for entity matching because public records also use the shorter Johan Scherrewitz. Appraisily brings these identity references together with available public auction records so works attributed to the artist can be compared under a consistent artist entity.

## Common works and media

Works associated with Scherrewitz most commonly fall within painting and watercolor. Documented subjects include landscapes, beach scenes, people or animals set within outdoor compositions, and scenes of peasant life. The collected sources do not establish named series, print editions, sculptures, ceramics, or posters, so those categories should not be assigned to the artist without additional evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

The available evidence supports organizing Scherrewitz works first by medium and subject, but it does not support a price forecast. A painting should be compared with paintings and a watercolor with watercolors; landscapes, beach scenes, and rural compositions with figures or animals should likewise be assessed against closely related examples. When records are available, relevant appraisal research can consider comparable lots, auction houses, sale dates, and realized prices. The current source pack does not provide enough auction-house detail to establish market direction. Attribution, condition, provenance, and authenticity also require object-specific examination and should not be inferred from the artist profile alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with available auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Coverage varies, and object-specific conclusions require direct examination and supporting documentation.
