## About Marcel von Herrfeldt

Marcel von Herrfeldt, also identified as Marcel René von Herrfeldt, was a German painter associated in the collected references with Munich’s artistic milieu. The English-language reference places him within the Munich School and connects his early work with Art Nouveau before noting later elements of New Objectivity. A German reference situates him among artists linked to the Munich Secession and emphasizes his sustained engagement with nude and figure painting. That practice is described as developing into a personal form of expressive realism. Together, these contexts help explain why works under his name may combine decorative Art Nouveau qualities, close attention to the human body, and a more direct realist treatment. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with paintings, especially figure and nude subjects. Appraisily’s collected input associates 208 auction records with the artist name, although individual records still require identity and lot-level review.

## Common works and media

The collected sources identify Herrfeldt primarily as a painter and particularly connect him with nude and figure subjects. Works encountered for appraisal may therefore include figurative paintings reflecting Art Nouveau, expressive-realist, or New Objectivity-related qualities. The source pack does not establish a documented body of prints, editions, sculpture, ceramics, posters, or drawings, so those categories should not be assumed without object-specific evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

Market assessment for a work attributed to Marcel von Herrfeldt should begin with identity and attribution. The available sources establish a German painter whose work is associated with nude and figure subjects, Art Nouveau, elements of New Objectivity, and expressive realism. Those contexts can help determine whether a candidate work is suitable for comparison, but they do not authenticate it. Appraisily’s collected input associates 208 auction records with this artist name; useful comparisons should be selected from records with compatible object type, subject, stylistic context, and documented sale information. The present source pack does not supply individual realized prices, condition reports, provenance, dimensions, or attribution wording, so no price trend or value conclusion 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 and details are available. Identity matches and individual lot evidence should be reviewed before appraisal conclusions are drawn.
