## About Umberto Lilloni

Umberto Lilloni (1898–1980) was an Italian painter, watercolorist, and draftsman. Getty ULAN, VIAF, Wikidata, and IdRef independently align on his identity and lifespan, while IdRef records 1 March 1898 as his birth date. The authority record also points to published catalogues of his work, including a 2002 catalogue raisonné devoted to paintings and drawings. For collectors, Lilloni is best approached as an artist with a documented body of painted and graphic work rather than through an unsupported stylistic label. Auction and appraisal contexts may include paintings, watercolors, or drawings bearing his name, but the collected sources do not securely establish a movement, recurring subject, or named series. Matching the artist's full name, dates, authority identifiers, medium, and catalogue references can help distinguish relevant records from similarly named or loosely attributed works.

## Common works and media

Works associated with Lilloni in the collected authority sources include paintings, watercolors, and drawings. A published catalogue raisonné specifically addresses paintings and drawings. The available evidence does not support a dependable list of recurring subjects, named series, sculptures, ceramics, prints, posters, or editioned works, so those categories should be evaluated from the individual object's documentation rather than assumed.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should begin by identifying whether a work is a painting, watercolor, or drawing and whether its attribution can be aligned with published scholarship. The collected auction-discovery material indicates that medium and dimensions can affect realized results, although its price summaries require confirmation against individual auction-house records. Comparables are most informative when their work type, dimensions, attribution, sale date, and venue are clearly documented. Lilloni's published catalogue raisonné provides a potentially useful reference point for paintings and drawings, but catalogue status alone does not determine value. No reliable price prediction or market trend can be inferred from this source pack.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine authority-based artist identity research with available auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Market details should be verified against individual sale records when source coverage is incomplete.
