## About Peter Ewart

Peter Ewart (1918–2001), also catalogued as Peter Maxwell Ewart and Peter M. Ewart, was a Canadian painter associated in available public sources with landscapes of western Canada. He is especially identified with the Cariboo country of British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies. These regional subjects provide useful clues when matching a signature, title, or auction listing to the correct artist, particularly because the shorter name “Peter Ewart” can be ambiguous without life dates or subject context. Auction records may identify him as either Peter Ewart or Peter Maxwell Ewart. Collectors are most likely to encounter paintings and landscape imagery, although broader auction indexing may also place records in works-on-paper, print, mixed-media, sculpture, decorative-art, or edition categories. Those categories should be assessed lot by lot rather than treated as a definitive catalogue of his practice. Wikidata and VIAF support the 1918–2001 identity, but fuller institutional documentation is limited in the supplied sources.

## Common works and media

The strongest supported description of Ewart's work is painting, particularly landscapes connected with the Cariboo region of British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies. Works may be catalogued under either Peter Ewart or Peter Maxwell Ewart. Appraisily's auction indexing also contains broader category labels for works on paper, prints, mixed media, sculpture, decorative art, and editions, but the supplied biographical sources do not establish those categories as equally characteristic of his practice; each listing should be verified individually.

## Market and appraisal context

Peter Ewart auction results should be compared with works sharing the same medium, dimensions, date, landscape subject, condition, and level of attribution confidence. Signature form, inscriptions, restoration, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references may also affect how a lot is assessed. Appraisily's matched public-auction index reports both priced and unpriced records, but its observed results should be treated as comparable evidence rather than a prediction for another work. Auction reporting may differ in its treatment of buyer's premiums and fees, and private sales or incomplete feeds may not appear. A defensible appraisal therefore requires inspection of the specific object and careful selection of genuinely similar public sales.

## Appraisily data basis

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