## About John Reginald Brunsdon

John Reginald Brunsdon (1933–2014), also identified in authority records as John Brunsdon, was a British artist whose documented practices included printmaking and painting. The available biographical source records his birth on 15 August 1933 and his death on 13 April 2014. Public identity records connect him with Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, Tate, RKD, and BnF, helping distinguish him from similarly named people and align auction records with the correct artist. The collected evidence does not securely assign Brunsdon to a named movement, school, subject specialty, or formal series, so those labels are omitted here. Collectors may encounter his name in connection with prints, graphic works, and paintings, but each object still requires work-level examination. Appraisily uses authority records as identity anchors and auction records as comparative evidence, not as proof that an attributed object is authentic.

## Common works and media

The available biographical evidence identifies Brunsdon as both a printmaker and painter. Prints, other graphic works, and paintings are therefore the most defensible broad work types for classification. The collected sources do not provide enough detail to name recurring subjects, specific print techniques, edition practices, named series, or characteristic formats without further work-level research.

## Market and appraisal context

The source pack confirms an auction-record surface for Brunsdon but contains no fetched lot descriptions, realized prices, edition data, or major-auction-house commentary. It therefore supports only a cautious market framework: separate prints and other graphic works from paintings, then compare an object with public auction lots of the same broad work type. A count of records is not itself evidence of authenticity, value, liquidity, or a price trend. Any appraisal conclusion should remain object-specific and should be updated from underlying auction catalogues, sale dates, realized prices, and genuinely comparable lots when those records are available.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Gaps in the collected evidence are retained rather than filled with unsupported claims.
