## About Kenneth Southworth Davies

Kenneth Southworth Davies (1925–2017), also identified in public records as Ken Davies and Kenneth Davies, was an American painter associated with Madison, Connecticut. The available biographical material describes him as known for trompe-l'œil work. Collectors may therefore encounter his paintings under shortened forms of his name as well as the fuller form used by library authority records. His identity is connected to public Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, Library of Congress, GND, ISNI, and IdRef records, although several of those authority pages could not be retrieved by the collection harness. The present evidence establishes Davies's basic identity, occupation, dates, and artistic specialty, but it does not document his training, exhibitions, institutional collections, recurring subjects, named series, or a detailed career chronology. Those areas should remain open rather than being inferred from auction-directory data alone.

## Common works and media

The collected biographical evidence identifies Davies as a painter known for trompe-l'œil work. Paintings are therefore the only common work type supported by this source pack. The evidence does not establish recurring subjects, print editions, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or named series, so those categories should not be attributed to him without additional object-level or institutional documentation.

## Market and appraisal context

The source pack establishes a painter identity and a trompe-l'œil specialty, but it does not provide accessible auction-house lot descriptions, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, or sale dates. This profile therefore should not imply a price range or market trend. An appraisal should first match a work carefully to Kenneth Southworth Davies, accounting for the documented shorter names Ken Davies and Kenneth Davies. Object-specific evidence and genuinely comparable public sales are needed before drawing value conclusions. The collected Appraisily page response was rate-limited, so its underlying auction records could not be independently reviewed during this research pass.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity data with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This profile distinguishes supported identity evidence from market details that were not accessible in the collected source pack.
