## About Percy Robertson

Percy Robertson (1869–1934) was a British painter and engraver, also described as an English watercolour landscape painter and etcher. His public identity records connect him with landscape imagery and works on paper, while auction listings place his name alongside paintings, watercolours, etchings, and other prints. Collectors may therefore encounter Robertson through landscape sheets or printed impressions rather than through a single widely documented series. Authority records maintained by Getty, VIAF, Wikidata, the Library of Congress, RKD, and the British Museum help distinguish him from people with similar names. His birth year is not fully settled across those records: several authorities use 1869, while the Library of Congress form and Wikipedia use 1868. Appraisily follows the 1869 authority cluster here while preserving the discrepancy for further research. This page is an identity-and-market reference grounded in institutional records and matched auction evidence, not a catalogue raisonné.

## Common works and media

The available sources identify Robertson with landscape watercolours and etchings, within the broader auction categories of paintings and works on paper or prints. For appraisal, record the medium, support, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, edition state when applicable, subject, condition, and any provenance or exhibition labels.

## Market and appraisal context

Robertson’s Appraisily auction snapshot contains 47 matched records, including 34 priced records, but those results should not be treated as a price forecast. A useful comparison starts with the same medium and work type—especially painting versus watercolour or etching—and then considers dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration, signature or inscription, edition information, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, and recent comparable lots. Reported auction totals may differ in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees. The dataset can also omit private transactions, and later attribution changes may alter comparability. Because the present source pack offers limited catalogue-level documentation, an appraisal should verify the object itself and compare like with like.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Coverage may exclude private sales or later attribution updates.
