## About Marie Lucie Nessi

Marie Lucie Nessi (1910–1992), also recorded under her married name Marie-Lucie Nessi-Valtat, was a French painter born in Paris and deceased in Villiers-le-Bel. Wikidata and VIAF independently connect these name forms and identify her as a French painter, helping distinguish her works from records filed under abbreviated or variant names. Public authority data establishes her identity more firmly than it establishes her artistic classification: the collected sources do not provide reliable evidence for a particular movement, school, recurring subject, or named series. Collectors may nevertheless encounter her paintings in auction records under either Nessi or Nessi-Valtat. When researching a work, both forms should be checked because cataloguing practices can vary between auction houses and library authorities. This page therefore treats identity matching as established while leaving stylistic and chronological claims open until museum, catalogue, archival, or other scholarly documentation becomes available.

## Common works and media

The collected authority sources identify Nessi as a painter, so paintings are the only securely supported work type in this profile. The available material does not establish characteristic subjects, techniques, named series, print editions, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, or posters. Objects catalogued under either Nessi or Nessi-Valtat should be evaluated from their own physical and documentary evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

Paintings attributed to Marie Lucie Nessi may appear in public auction data under her birth name or the married form Marie-Lucie Nessi-Valtat. Correctly reconciling those names is an important first step when selecting comparable records. An appraisal should then examine the specific object's medium, dimensions, condition, inscriptions, provenance, subject, and date rather than treating every name-matched result as equivalent. Relevant public sales can provide context through catalogue descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots, but the collected source pack did not expose enough lot-level detail to characterize price patterns or preferred subjects responsibly. Attribution and object-level evidence should therefore remain central to any valuation conclusion.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Claims are limited when the collected public evidence does not support a more specific conclusion.
