## About Laxma Goud

Laxma Goud, born in 1940, is an Indian painter, graphic artist, printmaker, and draughtsman. His practice encompasses drawing, etching, aquatint, gouache, pastel, sculpture, and glass painting. He is particularly associated with technically accomplished prints and early drawings that place erotic imagery within a rural setting. This combination of close observation, expressive figuration, and printmaking craft helps distinguish his work across several media. Collectors may encounter unique works on paper and paintings as well as printed editions, sculpture, mixed-media objects, and decorative works. Because Goud has worked across such a broad range, his name alone does not establish that two objects are comparable: medium, technique, scale, date, edition information, and subject all matter. Getty ULAN, VIAF, Wikidata, the Library of Congress, and the British Museum maintain or aggregate stable public records that help distinguish him from people with similar names.

## Common works and media

Works encountered under Laxma Goud's name include drawings, etchings, aquatints, gouaches, pastels, paintings, sculpture, mixed-media pieces, glass paintings, and printed editions. His early figurative drawings and printmaking are especially associated with rural settings and erotic imagery. For an editioned work, collectors should record the technique, sheet and image dimensions, edition number, signature, inscriptions, paper, and condition before selecting comparable sales.

## Market and appraisal context

Laxma Goud's auction record spans works on paper and prints, paintings, sculpture, mixed media, and editions. Appraisal should begin with sales of genuinely comparable objects rather than a single artist-wide average. Medium, dimensions, execution date, subject, condition, restoration, signature, inscriptions, and edition details can all affect comparability. Provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and attribution confidence should also be examined. Public realized prices are useful evidence, but reporting practices can differ on whether buyer's premiums and fees are included. Private transactions, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may also be absent, so auction data should be interpreted alongside direct examination and supporting documentation.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public sales are evidence for appraisal, not a substitute for authentication, condition review, or object-specific analysis.
