# Marcel Duval artist context and auction value notes Canonical page: https://appraisily.com/artist/marcel-duval/ Profile generated: 2026-08-24T17:58:24.812Z Quality: low confidence, thin sources ## Artist identity ## About Marcel Duval Marcel Duval is the name attached to an Appraisily auction-artist record, but the available public source pack does not yet establish a dependable biography for the person represented by those records. A name-only Wikidata entry connects to several library authority identifiers, although the collected excerpts do not supply dates, nationality, occupation, training, artistic associations, or documented works. The same-name Wikipedia page concerns a retired Canadian military general and therefore cannot be used as evidence about the auction-listed artist. Until a museum record, scholarly catalogue, artist archive, gallery biography with citations, or clearly matched auction-house profile resolves the identity, this page should avoid assigning movements, media, subjects, or life dates. Collectors may nevertheless encounter works catalogued under the Marcel Duval name, but signatures and catalogue attributions should be evaluated against the specific object's provenance and supporting documentation. ## Common works and media The collected source pack does not support a reliable description of Marcel Duval's common media, subjects, editions, paintings, drawings, sculpture, or other work types. Objects bearing this name should therefore be described from direct examination and documentary evidence rather than assigned to an unsupported body of work. ## Market and appraisal context Market interpretation is limited because the supplied sources do not securely identify the artist behind the auction records or document a characteristic body of work. For appraisal purposes, the first question is whether an object can be reliably connected to the same Marcel Duval represented by relevant comparable sales. Useful evidence may include provenance, labels, inscriptions, dated signatures, exhibition history, seller documentation, condition, dimensions, medium, and close comparison with securely attributed examples. These considerations are appraisal inputs, not predictions of value. Public sale records become more meaningful only after identity, attribution, work type, date, and condition are aligned across genuinely comparable lots. ## Appraisily data basis Appraisily artist pages combine cautious identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available and can be matched to the correct artist. ## Sources - Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q50384374 - Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcel_Duval - VIAF: https://viaf.org/viaf/4974864/ - Library of Congress: https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n95040409 - Deutsche Nationalbibliothek: https://d-nb.info/gnd/1011493659 - ISNI: https://isni.org/isni/0000000119320109 - IdRef: https://www.idref.fr/03044201X - Bibliothèque nationale de France: https://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb121855821 - Appraisily: https://appraisily.com/artist/marcel-duval/
