## About Urbain Huchet

Urbain Huchet (1930–2014) was a French painter, lithographer, author, and illustrator. Born in Rennes, he lived in Pont-Aven from 1960 to 1963 before settling in Boulogne-Billancourt. Library authority records connect Huchet with the 1968 travel book À travers le Mexique et l'autre Amérique, for which he was both author and illustrator, and with a 1971 Latin American literary volume that he illustrated. These records help distinguish him from similarly named historical figures and establish a practice extending beyond easel painting into printmaking and published illustration. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on paintings, works on paper, lithographs, illustrated books, and other editioned material. Appraisily's matched auction index also groups attributed works across fine-art, print, mixed-media, and decorative-art categories. Because the collected sources do not include a museum, estate, or scholarly biography, claims about Huchet's training, stylistic movement, and recurring subjects remain deliberately limited.

## Common works and media

The collected identity sources directly associate Huchet with painting, lithography, authorship, and book illustration. In appraisal and auction contexts, collectors may encounter paintings, works on paper, prints or lithographs, illustrated publications, and editioned material bearing his name. Appraisily's market index also contains broader mixed-media, sculpture, and decorative-art classifications, although each lot should be checked individually because the source pack does not establish those forms as central parts of his documented practice. It likewise does not provide enough authoritative evidence to define recurring subjects or named series.

## Market and appraisal context

Urbain Huchet's auction results should be compared with works that match in medium, dimensions, date, condition, subject, and attribution. For lithographs and other editioned works, edition size, impression number, signature, inscriptions, paper condition, and completeness can be especially relevant. For paintings, surface condition, restoration, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references may affect comparability. Appraisily's public index records matched results, but private transactions and incomplete feeds are not necessarily represented. Reported sale totals may also differ in whether buyer premiums or fees are included. Auction records are therefore useful evidence for selecting comparable works, not a stand-alone price prediction or authentication opinion.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when available. Private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may not be represented.
