## About Otto Antoine

Otto Antoine (1865–1951) was a German painter and graphic artist best known in public reference sources for cityscapes, architectural views, and commercial graphic work. Authority records from Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and other library systems establish a consistent identity for the artist. Descriptive sources characterize his painted views as Impressionistic or late-Impressionist, although the collected source pack does not include a museum or scholarly record strong enough to assign a formal movement here. Collectors are most likely to encounter Antoine through paintings of cities and buildings, together with works on paper and examples connected with his graphic-art practice. His long working life crossed the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, making date, medium, subject, and execution important when comparing works. Appraisily's public market index contains a substantial body of matched auction records under his name, but individual objects still require careful review for attribution, condition, provenance, and comparability.

## Common works and media

The strongest documented work types in the collected sources are paintings, especially cityscapes and architectural or vedute views, along with graphic and commercial-art material. Appraisily's auction index also groups records under works on paper and prints. Its broader sculpture, mixed-media, decorative-art, and edition labels are not confirmed as characteristic of Antoine's practice by the identity sources in this pack, so objects in those categories need especially careful artist matching and attribution review.

## Market and appraisal context

Otto Antoine has a meaningful public-auction footprint in Appraisily's matched records, but an appraisal should not rely on an artist-wide median or observed range alone. The most useful comparisons are works that align in medium, dimensions, subject, date, condition, and attribution. Cityscape or architectural subject matter may provide a more practice-specific comparison than broad category labels. Signatures, inscriptions, restoration, surface quality, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references should also be checked. Reported results may include different fee treatments, while private sales and incomplete feeds are not necessarily visible. Public auction data therefore supplies comparable evidence rather than a guaranteed value for any particular work.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched identity records with matched public auction data, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Private sales, incomplete feeds, fee differences, and later attribution changes may not be represented.
