## About Marcel Delmotte

Marcel Delmotte (1901–1984) was a Belgian painter born in Charleroi and later associated by his death record with Mont-sur-Marchienne. Public authority records from VIAF, IdRef, Getty ULAN, and Wikidata establish a consistent identity for the artist through linked identifiers. The available source pack does not securely assign Delmotte to a particular movement, school, or named series, so such labels should not be inferred from auction descriptions alone. Collectors may encounter works under his name in painting and fine-art auction categories, where careful identity matching is important because catalogue wording can vary. For appraisal purposes, the artist’s name should be checked against stable authority records while each object is evaluated on its own evidence. Delmotte’s full birth and death dates are reported by the French-language Wikipedia entry; the corresponding years are independently corroborated by multiple authority records. This supports a firm basic identity profile but a deliberately restrained art-historical summary.

## Common works and media

Painting is the only work type clearly supported by the collected authority sources, which consistently identify Marcel Delmotte as a painter. The pack does not establish characteristic subjects, named series, print editions, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, posters, or other recurring formats. Objects offered in those forms should therefore be assessed individually rather than presented as typical Delmotte works without additional evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

Market assessment should begin by confirming that a work is catalogued as being by Marcel Delmotte rather than merely associated with a similar name. VIAF, IdRef, Getty ULAN, and Wikidata provide useful identity anchors, while Appraisily’s artist page supplies the available auction-record context. Comparable records should be screened for relevance before they inform an appraisal. The collected pack does not provide lot-level evidence about condition, dimensions, provenance, subject matter, dates of execution, signatures, editions, or catalogue attribution language. Those object-specific details therefore require separate examination and should not be inferred from the artist’s identity profile. No price trend or future-value conclusion is supported by this source pack.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched identity records with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This profile distinguishes verified identity evidence from market details that still require lot-level support.
