## About Oszkár Glatz

Oszkár Glatz (1872–1958) was a Hungarian painter and printmaker associated with naturalism, post-impressionism, plein-air practice, and the Nagybánya school. Born and deceased in Budapest, he developed an ethnographic interest in people, outdoor life, and the relationship between figures and nature. Public authority records identify him under both Oszkár Glatz and the Hungarian name order Glatz Oszkár, an important distinction when matching catalogues and auction records. Collectors most often encounter paintings, while authority data also identifies printmaking as part of his practice. His documented focus on figures and natural settings provides useful context when comparing works, but individual objects still require examination of medium, date, dimensions, signature, condition, and provenance. Appraisily's matched data shows auction activity extending through 2025, although only part of the tracked sample has reported prices. Work-level evidence is therefore more informative than an artist-wide average alone.

## Common works and media

Public authority data describes Glatz as both a painter and printmaker, while Appraisily's matched records place his market principally within fine art and paintings and works on paper and prints. Available biographical evidence connects his imagery with plein-air practice, ethnographic observation, figures, and natural settings. When cataloguing a possible Glatz work, record its exact medium and support, dimensions, subject, signature or inscriptions, date, condition, restoration history, and provenance. Prints should also be checked for edition information when present.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should begin with genuinely comparable works rather than the page median alone. Appraisily currently displays 20 matched public auction records for Glatz, including nine priced records dated from 2007 through 2025. The reported results span a wide range, so medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and recent comparable sales all matter. Paintings should be compared with similar paintings, while works on paper and prints require attention to technique, condition, and any applicable edition details. Public auction data can be incomplete, may report fees inconsistently, and does not capture every private sale. Authentication and condition review can materially alter an appraisal conclusion.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public records may be incomplete and should be evaluated alongside object-specific evidence.
