## About Orlando Pelayo

Orlando Pelayo (1920–1990) was a Spanish painter and printmaker whose public authority records establish a distinct twentieth-century artist identity. A Spanish-language biographical record gives his fuller name as Orlando Pelayo Entrialgo, while a French-language biography places his birth in Gijón and his death in Oviedo. Collectors may encounter his work under the shorter professional name Orlando Pelayo, particularly in painting and printmaking contexts. One collected biography associates him with the New School of Paris, but the supplied evidence does not include a museum or scholarly source sufficient to treat that affiliation as fully verified. Authority links from Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and other national libraries help distinguish his records from those of similarly named artists. This page therefore emphasizes verified identity, dates, nationality, and working media while treating broader stylistic classifications cautiously.

## Common works and media

Public identity sources consistently describe Orlando Pelayo as both a painter and a printmaker. Paintings and prints or other graphic works are therefore the most defensible categories for object matching and auction research. The collected sources do not provide enough lot-level evidence to identify recurring subjects, named series, specific painting techniques, print processes, or edition formats. Those characteristics should be established from the object itself and from closely comparable catalogued works rather than assumed from the artist’s name.

## Market and appraisal context

Pelayo’s auction context should first be divided by work type because paintings and prints are not directly interchangeable comparables. Appraisal of an individual object should establish its medium, attribution, dimensions, condition, provenance, and, for prints, edition information before comparing it with relevant public sales. The supplied source pack confirms an Appraisily auction-price page but does not expose individual lot descriptions, sale dates, estimates, realized prices, or condition reports. That evidence gap prevents a defensible price trend or value range from being stated here. Any market conclusion should therefore be based on verified lot-level records for genuinely comparable works rather than on the artist name or aggregate record count alone.

## 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 are available. Conclusions remain limited when the collected evidence lacks detailed lot data.
