## About Xavier de Poret

Xavier de Poret was a French painter, animal painter, portraitist, and illustrator active during the twentieth century. Collected authority and biographical sources consistently identify him as a painter who lived until 1975, although they disagree on whether he was born in 1894 or 1897. The more detailed collected biography gives 12 April 1894 in Dinan and records his death on 18 February 1975 in Chambéry. His documented artistic scope centers on animals, portraits, and illustration rather than on a clearly identified modern-art movement or school. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on animal-themed paintings, portraits, or illustrated material. Because the available public evidence does not establish named series, precise techniques, or a catalogue raisonné, individual works should be assessed from their own documentation and compared with records sharing the same work type and subject.

## Common works and media

The available biographical evidence supports three principal kinds of work: animal paintings, portraits, and illustration. It does not establish particular paint types, printmaking processes, edition practices, sculpture, ceramics, posters, named series, or recurring dated periods. Those characteristics should be recorded from the individual object rather than inferred from the artist name.

## Market and appraisal context

Market comparison for Xavier de Poret should begin by distinguishing paintings from illustrated material and by matching animal subjects with animal subjects or portraits with portraits. The collected Appraisily input indicates a meaningful body of associated auction records, but the source pack does not provide individual lot descriptions, realized prices, dimensions, techniques, or sale results. It therefore cannot support a price forecast or market-trend claim. Careful identity and date documentation is also important because public authority records disagree on his birth year. When detailed auction records are available, the strongest comparisons will be lots with closely aligned work type, subject, date, and documented artist identification.

## 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. Gaps and conflicts in the collected evidence are retained rather than resolved by guesswork.
