## About Leo Eland

Leo Eland, also identified in library authority records as Leonardus Josephus Eland, was a Dutch painter who lived from 1884 to 1952. Public authority records establish his identity and life years, while surviving catalogued examples in the collected source material show an emphasis on oil painting. These examples include works on canvas and panel, with subjects connected to landscape and life in West Java, including a lake near Sukabumi and people working in a sawah. The available evidence does not support assigning Eland to a named artistic movement, so his work is better described through documented medium, subject, and place rather than a speculative school label. Collectors may encounter his pictures as signed oils of varying dimensions, often catalogued with the signature position and geographic subject noted. Because the present identity record is stronger than the available biographical narrative, individual works should be assessed using their physical characteristics and documented history.

## Common works and media

The collected examples are signed oil paintings on canvas or panel. Documented subjects include landscape scenery, a lake near Sukabumi in West Java, and agricultural work in a sawah. Available records show works in several dimensions and signatures described at either the lower left or lower right. Evidence in this source pack is insufficient to characterize prints, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, editions, or a formal series as common parts of Eland's market.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal of a work attributed to Leo Eland should begin with the object itself and then compare it with relevant public auction records. Documented examples vary in support and size, including oils on canvas and panel, and catalogue descriptions record signatures at both lower corners. Medium, dimensions, subject, identified location, condition, provenance, attribution language, and the quality and recency of comparable lots can all affect how a work is evaluated. West Java subjects may provide useful comparison points when they are specifically identified, but subject similarity alone does not establish authorship or value. The collected source pack lacks a successfully fetched major-auction-house biography or detailed sale history, so no price trend or prediction is supported here.

## 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 and relevant.
