## About Pere Pruna O'Ceráns

Pere Pruna O'Ceráns (1904–1977), also catalogued as Pere Pruna i Ocerans and Pedro Pruna, was a Spanish and Catalan painter whose authority records also identify printmaking among his activities. A Spanish-language biographical profile additionally describes him as an illustrator working in a figurative style. Public authority files maintained through Wikidata, Getty ULAN, and VIAF connect these spelling and language variants to the same artist, an important distinction when matching catalogues and auction records. Biographical sources place both his birth and death in Barcelona, although the exact dates currently rely on encyclopedia-style corroboration rather than a captured museum biography. Collectors may encounter paintings, prints, graphic material, and works connected with illustration under several forms of his name. The supplied Appraisily dataset associates 264 auction records with the artist, indicating a meaningful public-record footprint while not, by itself, establishing the quality or comparability of individual lots.

## Common works and media

The collected sources support paintings and prints as the principal documented work types, with illustration also recorded as part of Pruna's practice. His work is described as figurative, but this source pack does not identify recurring subjects, named series, sculpture, ceramics, posters, or specific print editions. Auction and appraisal records should therefore classify each object from its physical medium and catalogued evidence rather than assuming a subject, series, or edition from the artist's name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should first confirm that the work is correctly associated with Pere Pruna O'Ceráns despite the documented variants Pere Pruna i Ocerans and Pedro Pruna. Classification as a painting, print, or illustration-related work is also relevant because the authority sources identify more than one artistic activity. The collected pack includes an artist-level auction index but does not expose individual lot descriptions, dimensions, condition, provenance, edition details, sale dates, or realized prices. Those details therefore need to be verified from the underlying work and comparable sale records before drawing a valuation conclusion. The available evidence does not support a price forecast, scarcity claim, or market-trend statement.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identities and authority-file links with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This profile separates established identity facts from market details that still require lot-level verification.
