## About Widayat

Widayat (1919–2002) was an Indonesian painter described in Indonesian and French reference pages as an influential Javanese artist of the twentieth century. The available sources do not provide a museum biography, catalogue raisonné, or securely documented movement affiliation, so his identity should be presented without assigning an unsupported school or stylistic label. Collectors encounter Widayat through public auction records covering fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Some of these are broad index categories and should be confirmed against the individual object. Appraisily's matched records span sales dated from 1998 through 2025. Given the limited institutional biography currently available, a work should be assessed through its medium, dimensions, date, inscriptions, attribution, provenance, condition, and relationship to documented comparable sales rather than through biography alone.

## Common works and media

The current auction index groups Widayat records under fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Painting is supported by the available identity sources as his principal occupation, while the broader categories come from matched auction data and should not be treated as a definitive catalogue of his output. For appraisal, identify the exact medium and support, measure the work, document the front and reverse, and record signatures, inscriptions, labels, edition numbers, condition issues, and restoration evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's matched market index reports 116 records, including 77 priced records, across auction dates from 1998 to 2025. These records offer useful comparison points but do not establish a single reliable value for every work attributed to Widayat. Appraisal should prioritize comparables with similar medium, size, date, subject, condition, and attribution status. Signature and inscription evidence, restoration history, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and edition information may also affect how a result is interpreted. Reported auction prices can use different treatments of premiums or fees, while private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent. Unusually high or low records should therefore be verified before use.

## 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 those records are available. Public records are reference evidence, not a substitute for object-level attribution, condition review, or a qualified appraisal.
