## About Robert Street

Robert Street (1796–1865) was an American painter whose identity is consistently represented in Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and linked library authority records. The available public evidence associates his practice especially with portraiture. A portrait of General Andrew Jackson dated 1824 is among the works identified in the collected biographical material, while museum-linked Wikimedia records document portraits of named sitters and a work titled Likeness of Himself. These records place Street within the tradition of nineteenth-century American portrait painting, although the collected sources do not assign him to a specific named movement or school. Collectors may encounter his name in connection with painted likenesses of historical sitters, family portraits, or works catalogued through institutional and auction records. Because Robert Street is also a potentially ambiguous personal name, matching a work to the authority-controlled artist identity and lifespan is an important first step in research.

## Common works and media

The available evidence most clearly supports paintings and portraiture. Documented examples include likenesses of named sitters, an 1824 portrait associated with General Andrew Jackson, and a self-likeness held in a museum context. The collected pack does not provide reliable evidence for editions, prints, sculpture, ceramics, posters, or a named series, so those categories should not be attributed to Street without additional documentation.

## Market and appraisal context

Market assessment should begin by establishing that a work belongs to the American painter Robert Street who lived from 1796 to 1865. The authority identifiers collected here help distinguish that artist identity, while documented portraits provide useful subject and work-type context. Appraisily associates a body of auction records with the public artist page, but the source-pack request did not expose individual lot descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, or major-auction-house commentary. Comparisons should therefore be limited to records that can be matched confidently to the same artist and a genuinely comparable type of portrait or painting. This profile does not support a price forecast or a claim about market direction.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine authority-based artist identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. This profile distinguishes confirmed identity evidence from market details that were unavailable in the collected public source pack.
