## About Spyridon Scarvelli

Spyridon Scarvelli is identified by Wikidata as a Greek artist and is linked to an RKD artist authority profile. Work-level records in the collected source pack show watercolors on paper depicting Mediterranean ports and coastal settings as well as Egyptian urban and river scenes, including Piraeus, Corfu, Cairo, and the Nile. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter his name on signed works on paper with architectural, maritime, or travel-related subjects. Appraisily's matched auction index contains more than two hundred records under his name, indicating recurring public-market appearances, although the available biographical evidence is sparse. The collected authority excerpts do not establish exact life dates, training, affiliations, or a documented movement, so those details remain unresolved here. For entity matching, the Wikidata and RKD profiles provide the strongest stable identifiers; auction records and Wikimedia file pages add work-level context but should not be treated as definitive biographical documentation.

## Common works and media

The clearest work-level evidence in the source pack concerns signed watercolors on paper. Recorded subjects include harbor and coastal views associated with Corfu and Piraeus, ships and waterfront architecture, Cairo street scenes, and views of the Nile. These examples support careful comparison by medium, dimensions, subject, inscriptions, and condition. The pack does not provide enough institution-grade evidence to define formal series, editions, or a broader catalogue of media.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily reports 215 matched auction records, including 165 priced records, over an observed date range of 1994–2026. Any appraisal should compare the object with sales involving a similar medium, size, subject, date, condition, signature, and level of attribution. Provenance, restoration, inscriptions, exhibition history, and catalogue references can also affect comparability. Reported prices may reflect different fee conventions, while private transactions and incomplete auction feeds may be absent. The available market data is useful for locating relevant public comparables, but it does not replace authentication, direct condition assessment, or analysis of the specific work.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public records are evidence inputs, not substitutes for authentication or a work-specific appraisal.
