## About Simeon Stafford

Simeon Stafford is identified by Wikidata as a British painter and composer born in 1956. That combined description matters for entity matching because the associated VIAF material includes authority references connected with both musical compositions and visual-work titles. Stable profiles also exist at the Library of Congress and Art UK, although their page contents could not be retrieved during this collection run. The available evidence does not securely establish Stafford's exact birth date, birthplace, training, artistic movement, preferred painting medium, or recurring subjects. Collectors may encounter the name in auction records, but individual objects should be matched carefully to the visual artist rather than assigned on the basis of the name alone. Appraisily therefore treats the 1956 birth year, British identity, and painter-composer occupations as the current core entity record while flagging the cross-domain authority information for further verification.

## Common works and media

The available authority data identifies Stafford as a painter, making paintings the only presently supported visual-work category. It does not reliably document whether collectors commonly encounter oils, acrylics, watercolours, drawings, prints, editions, or other formats. Subject specialisms and named series also remain unverified.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected sources do not support a price trend or a reliable hierarchy of Stafford's work. For appraisal purposes, the first task is to confirm that an object is associated with the visual artist represented by the authority records. Once identity is secure, analysis should use object-specific evidence and comparable public sales, including the work type, sale date, and realized price when those records are available. This source pack does not establish whether particular media, subjects, dates, dimensions, conditions, or provenance histories produce different auction outcomes. No premium, scarcity claim, or price forecast should therefore be inferred from the present identity research alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Claims remain limited when the collected evidence is incomplete.
