“Portrait of Dr. Boucard” is an artwork by the renowned artist Tamara de Lempicka, created in 1929. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Art Deco movement and represents the portrait genre.
The artwork features a distinguished man, presumably Dr. Boucard, depicted with characteristic elegance and poise representative of Lempicka’s style. Clad in a light-colored coat and holding a delicate object in his hand, he is seated against an abstract backdrop that complements the geometric sharpness and clean lines distinct to Art Deco. The man’s serene yet assertive demeanor is highlighted by the meticulously rendered fabrics and the subtle shadings of the painting, evoking a sense of sophistication and intellectual depth. Nearby, a golden microscope rests, suggesting the subject’s scientific profession or interests, which is harmoniously integrated into the overall composition with an air of meticulous refinement.
