## About Paul Lucien Maze

Paul Lucien Maze (1887–1979) was an Anglo-French painter and draughtsman associated with Impressionist and Post-Impressionist contexts. Born in Le Havre and educated in France and England, he developed a career that connected French artistic circles with life in Britain. His experience during the First World War, friendship with Winston Churchill, and later settlement in Sussex form an important part of his biography. Maze worked across oil, watercolour, and pastel, depicting maritime life, urban scenes, landscapes, regattas, sporting events, and ceremonial occasions. Collectors may encounter views of the French coast, New York, the English countryside, Cowes yachting, Henley Regatta, Goodwood racing, and other public or sporting spectacles. His work appears in institutional collections and public auction records, where medium, subject, date, condition, provenance, and attribution can significantly affect how an individual piece is understood.

## Common works and media

Auction and appraisal examples may include oil paintings, watercolours, pastels, drawings, prints, and editions. Commonly encountered subjects include French maritime views, harbours, New York City scenes, English landscapes, regattas, yachts, horse racing, other sporting events, military scenes, and ceremonial celebrations. Works on paper can differ materially in value from original paintings, while edition details, paper condition, fading, restoration, signature status, and provenance may be decisive. Subject, scale, date, and the relationship of a work to Maze's French, wartime, or later English contexts can help identify appropriate comparables.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's public market index records a substantial body of matched auction data for Paul Lucien Maze, including paintings, works on paper, prints, and other mixed categories. The reported median and price range are broad indicators, not predictions for a particular work. Appraisal should compare objects with similar medium, dimensions, subject, date, condition, provenance, exhibition history, and attribution strength. A signed original oil may need to be assessed differently from a watercolour, pastel, print, or edition. Buyers should also check whether reported auction totals include premiums or fees and whether the record is directly comparable to the object being considered.
