## About Louis Bosworth Hurt

Louis Bosworth Hurt (1856–1929) was an English painter identified in public authority data and reference sources as a landscape artist. The collected evidence is strongest on his core identity rather than his wider biography: it supports his name, nationality, occupation, and life years but provides little dependable detail about training, exhibitions, affiliations, or specific working locations. Landscape painting is therefore the safest context for describing his practice without assigning him to an unsupported movement or school. Hurt has stable records in Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, RKD, and Art UK, helping cataloguers distinguish him from similarly named people and connect auction entries across databases. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with English landscape paintings, although the attribution and characteristics of any individual object still require work-specific evidence.

## Common works and media

The collected sources identify Hurt as a painter and landscape artist. Landscape paintings are consequently the only common work type that this evidence pack supports for page-level description. It does not establish recurring named series, particular geographic subjects, or additional media such as drawings, prints, or sculpture. More specific classifications should come from individual object records or stronger museum and catalogue documentation.

## Market and appraisal context

The available evidence supports placing Louis Bosworth Hurt within the auction category of English landscape painting, but it does not establish a price level or market trend. Appraisal should first confirm that an object is attributed to the same artist represented by the authority records and then compare it with relevant public auction entries. Sale dates, realized prices, auction-house descriptions, and closely comparable lots can provide useful context when those records are available. The supplied Appraisily signal indicates an established body of auction records, but the collected page response exposed no individual lot details. This research therefore supports identity and category matching, not a prediction of value, demand, liquidity, or future performance.

## 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. Identity evidence and object-level market evidence are evaluated separately.
