Public authority records in this source pack identify Mikhail Shemyakin as Mikhail Fyodorovich Shemyakin (1875–1944), a Russian painter. VIAF and IdRef connect several Cyrillic and Latin-script forms of his name, which matters because “Mikhail Shemyakin” is shared with another artist active in the later twentieth century. The collected sources do not securely establish a movement, school, recurring subject, or named series for the 1875–1944 painter, so those details should not be inferred. Collectors may encounter his name in catalogues under Shemiakin, Šemjakin, or Šemâkin transliterations, as well as Михаил Фёдорович Шемякин. The current Appraisily auction page appears to include at least one record describing a Moscow-born artist dated 1943, creating a material entity-matching risk. Until the lots are separated and reconciled, the biographical and market information should be treated as a disambiguation profile rather than a unified career summary.

Painting

Common works and media

The authority sources support painting as the only securely established medium for the 1875–1944 artist. Appraisily’s current market page also groups matched lots under paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions, but those categories may combine the older painter with a later namesake. Treat signatures, inscriptions, dates, edition statements, and documentary provenance as disambiguation evidence before assigning a work type to either artist.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin by confirming which Mikhail Shemyakin created the object. Signatures, inscriptions, creation dates, provenance, exhibition labels, and catalogue references can help distinguish the 1875–1944 Russian painter from the later namesake represented in the current auction data. Appraisily groups matched records across paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions, but these categories should not be assigned to the older painter without lot-level verification. Once identity is established, compare works with similar medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, edition status, and attribution strength. Public realized prices provide useful context, but incomplete feeds, private transactions, restoration, and differing fee treatment can limit direct comparisons.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Fine art and paintings
  • Works on paper and prints
  • Sculpture and mixed media
  • Decorative art and editions

Value drivers

  1. Medium, dimensions, date, and period
  2. Condition, restoration history, and surface quality
  3. Signature, inscriptions, edition details, and attribution confidence
  4. Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references
  5. Comparable public auction sales for works of similar type
  6. Subject matter, rarity, and current demand

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected authority records describe a painter born in 1875 and deceased in 1944, while the auction-page excerpt includes a lot attributed to a Moscow-born artist dated 1943.
  • The auction-page summary reports 14 tracked lots, but its data-basis section reports four records and two priced records; those counts require reconciliation.
  • Public auction records are appraisal inputs rather than a final valuation, and reported prices may differ in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees.
  • Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, condition findings, and later attribution changes may not be represented.
