## About Maximino Peña Muñoz

Maximino Peña Muñoz (1863–1940) was a Spanish painter and draughtsman whose documented practice encompassed pastel, oil painting, and drawing. Public biographical summaries associate him especially with pastel and describe a varied body of portraits, landscapes, studies, and genre scenes drawn from everyday life. That breadth helps explain why collectors may encounter his name on both paintings and works on paper rather than on one standardized type of object. The collected evidence does not justify assigning Peña Muñoz to a specific artistic movement, so his practice is more accurately introduced through its documented media and subjects. Authority records maintained by Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN help distinguish him from similarly named artists and connect abbreviated forms such as Maximino Peña with his full name. Appraisily currently associates 118 directory records with this public artist page, but each record still requires individual catalog and attribution review.

## Common works and media

Documented work types include pastel and oil paintings as well as drawings and other works on paper. Public biographical summaries describe portraits, landscapes, studies or sketches, and scenes of everyday life. Because the collected sources do not provide a catalogue raisonné or a lot-level breakdown of the artist's production, these categories should guide identification and comparison without being treated as a complete inventory.

## Market and appraisal context

For appraisal research, pastels, oil paintings, and drawings should be separated before comparable works are selected. Subject also matters when organizing evidence: portraits, landscapes, studies, and genre scenes should generally be compared with closely related object types. The collected source pack establishes these documented media and subjects but supplies no accessible lot-level catalog descriptions or realized prices. The 118 records associated with the Appraisily directory page therefore constitute a discovery set, not a price conclusion. A defensible assessment should first resolve the artist identity, medium, and subject, then examine adequately documented comparable public sales. This evidence does not support a market trend, scarcity claim, or price forecast.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. For Maximino Peña Muñoz, the present identity evidence is stronger than the collected lot-level market evidence, so auction conclusions should remain record-specific.
