## About Shmuel Charuvi

Shmuel Charuvi (1897–1965) was an Israeli painter whose authority records also identify Ukraine as his birthplace. His name appears in several Romanized and Hebrew forms, including Shemuʾel Ḥaruvi and שמואל חרובי, making authority-file matching especially useful when researching catalogues and auction records. A Hebrew biographical source describes Charuvi as a graduate of the Bezalel art school and connects him with the Second Aliyah. Together, these references place his career within the formative cultural setting of early Israeli art, although the collected material does not establish a specific named art movement. Collectors may encounter Charuvi through paintings recorded under different spellings of his name. The available sources establish his identity, life years, nationality, occupation, and educational context, but they do not provide a dependable catalogue of subjects, individual works, exhibitions, or stylistic periods. Those details should therefore be verified against object-specific documentation and stronger scholarly sources.

## Common works and media

The current source pack supports paintings as the principal work type associated with Shmuel Charuvi. It does not establish a reliable breakdown of subjects, painting media, drawings, prints, sculptures, editions, or named series. Works catalogued under Charuvi, Ḥaruvi, or the Hebrew form שמואל חרובי should be matched to the same authority identity before comparison. Medium, support, dimensions, signature, date, condition, provenance, and attribution should be verified from the individual object and its documentation rather than inferred from the artist name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal of a work attributed to Shmuel Charuvi should begin with careful identity matching because authority records preserve several Hebrew and Romanized forms of his name. The collected material supports paintings as the principal auction category, but it does not provide accessible lot-level evidence about media, dimensions, condition, provenance, signatures, dates, or realized prices. Those object-level details require separate verification before a valuation conclusion is reached. Comparable sales should be restricted to securely attributed works and assessed in relation to sale date and the characteristics documented by the auction house. Charuvi's reported Bezalel education and Second Aliyah context may also be relevant when a work has reliable documentation connecting it to those aspects of his career.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity data with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For Shmuel Charuvi, the present identity evidence is stronger than the collected object-level market evidence.
