## About Segundo Matilla

Segundo Matilla (1862–1937), also identified as Segundo Matilla y Marina, was a Spanish painter associated with Catalonia. Spanish- and Catalan-language reference pages describe him as having been born in Madrid before settling and training in Catalonia. That regional connection is the clearest artistic context established by the currently collected sources; they do not securely assign him to a named movement or document recurring subjects, exhibitions, or stylistic periods. Collectors may encounter Matilla through auction records grouped under his artist identity, but individual works should be matched carefully against authority profiles and catalog information. Several established authority records identify the artist, although some endpoints were rate-limited when the source pack was assembled. The selected likeness is a public-domain self-portrait documented through Wikimedia Commons. This summary therefore keeps its biographical and artistic claims deliberately narrow while distinguishing established identity information from details that still require stronger institutional or scholarly documentation.

## Common works and media

The source pack securely establishes Matilla as a painter, so paintings are the principal work type that can presently be associated with his auction identity. It does not provide enough reliable detail to characterize his usual supports, techniques, formats, subjects, drawings, prints, editions, or other recurring categories. Those descriptions should be added only after museum, scholarly, catalogue, or verified auction-lot evidence becomes available.

## Market and appraisal context

The available Appraisily input indicates a substantial group of records under Segundo Matilla's name, but the collected public response did not expose object-level sale details for verification. The present evidence therefore does not support a generalized price range, market trend, or claim about which subjects command premiums. Appraisal research should begin by confirming that a work is correctly associated with this artist and then examine verified public auction records at the individual-lot level. Sale dates, realized prices, catalog descriptions, and genuinely comparable lots can provide useful context when available, but record count alone should not be treated as evidence of value.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with auction records and auction-house context. When verified records are available, sale dates, realized prices, catalog descriptions, and comparable lots are used to place an individual work in context.
