## About Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scevola

Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scevola (1871–1950) was a French painter, draughtsman, and illustrator active across the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Library authority records consistently identify his life years and preserve several forms of his name, including accented and unaccented spellings and the reversed form Victor-Lucien Guirand de Scevola. He is also remembered for his role in the pioneering development and leadership of French military camouflage during the First World War. That wartime association is represented in the collected identity sources, while the available source pack does not securely assign him to a single named art movement or document a stable catalogue of subjects. Collectors may encounter his name in varied cataloguing contexts, especially on paintings, drawings, and illustrated material. Careful entity matching matters because diacritics, given-name order, and abbreviated forms can cause records for the same artist to appear separate.

## Common works and media

Authority and biographical records describe Guirand de Scevola as a painter and draughtsman, with illustration also documented. The source pack therefore supports paintings, drawings, and illustrated material as the principal broad work types likely to appear in catalogues and appraisal searches. It does not provide enough evidence to identify a dominant paint medium, print process, recurring subject, edition practice, or sculpture or ceramics category. More specific classifications should be based on the individual object and its documentation.

## Market and appraisal context

The supplied Appraisily input associates this artist with 138 indexed auction records, but the collected source pack does not expose individual lot descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, provenance, dimensions, or sale dates. Market comparison should therefore start with a secure identity match and keep paintings, drawings, and illustrated works in separate comparison groups. Name variants—including Scévola/Scevola and Lucien-Victor/Victor-Lucien—should be checked when searching public sale records. Within the available evidence, work category and comparable public auction records are supportable appraisal inputs; no price trend, typical value, or scarcity conclusion can be drawn from the source pack alone. Object-specific attribution and the details of selected comparable lots require separate verification.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with indexed auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Claims are limited when the collected sources do not provide lot-level evidence.
