## About Maurice Bouval

Maurice Bouval (1863–1916) was a French sculptor associated by the collected biographical sources with the Art Nouveau period. The French-language source identifies Toulouse as his birthplace and dates his life from 9 March 1863 to 20 March 1916, while Wikidata independently corroborates his life years and French identity. Collectors encounter Bouval chiefly through sculpture rather than a broadly documented range of media in this source pack. His name therefore belongs within the context of French Art Nouveau sculpture, but the available evidence does not establish specific materials, subjects, workshops, editions, or named series with sufficient authority for this page. Appraisily should treat those object-level details as questions to verify against the work and its documentation. The identity is reasonably well matched across Wikidata and several authority identifiers, although most authority pages could not be read by the collection harness and the accessible narrative evidence remains largely encyclopedic.

## Common works and media

The accessible sources consistently describe Bouval as a sculptor. Sculpture is therefore the only well-supported common work type in this profile. The source pack does not reliably establish particular materials, casting methods, foundries, subjects, dimensions, editions, drawings, or decorative objects. Those details should be determined from the individual work and its documentation rather than assumed from the artist's name.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected pack confirms that Bouval has an Appraisily auction-record presence, but it does not expose lot-level descriptions, realized prices, or major auction-house analysis. That evidence is insufficient for a price forecast or for ranking particular materials, subjects, sizes, or dates. Auction results should be treated as comparables only after confirming that the objects are genuinely similar and that the attribution is appropriate; a record attached to the artist's name is not itself proof of authorship. This page should use public sale dates, realized prices, auction-house descriptions, and comparable lots when available, while excluding unsupported claims about trends, rarity, or premiums.

## 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. Lot-level evidence in the collected source pack for this profile is currently limited.
