## About Dimitri Bouchène

Dimitri Bouchène (1893–1993) was born in Saint Petersburg and later became a French citizen in 1947. His practice crossed painting, graphic art, scenography, and design. He created sets and costumes for theatre, ballet, and opera and also worked in haute couture. Alongside this applied and theatrical work, reference sources identify landscapes, circus scenes, and still lifes within his painting. That breadth is central to his public identity: the collected evidence does not connect Bouchène securely to one named movement, but instead presents an oeuvre linking easel painting with performance and fashion design. Collectors may therefore encounter works associated with him in several forms, including paintings, graphic works, and preparatory or presentation designs for the stage. Authority records provide useful entity matching for his name and lifespan, while the more detailed information about his occupations and subjects comes primarily from the collected French and Russian biographical summaries.

## Common works and media

The collected biographies describe paintings and graphic art as well as designs for sets and costumes used in theatre, ballet, and opera. Bouchène also worked in haute couture. Within his painting, documented subjects include landscapes, circus scenes, and still lifes. Auction or appraisal candidates may therefore range from autonomous pictures and works on paper to designs connected with performance or fashion, although the source pack does not establish how frequently each type appears at auction.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should first identify what kind of Bouchène work is being examined. An autonomous painting or graphic work may require different comparable records from a set, costume, or fashion design. Subject category can also guide comparison because his documented repertoire includes landscapes, circus scenes, and still lifes. Public auction results should be compared within the same work type and subject category, using underlying sale dates and realized prices when those records are available. The collected pack signals a substantial auction-record presence on Appraisily, but it does not provide the individual lot descriptions, condition reports, provenance, edition information, or attribution evidence needed for a specific valuation. Those details should be established from the object and the original sale documentation.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with available auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. For Dimitri Bouchène, the current source pack supports identity and broad work categories but requires underlying lot records for object-specific conclusions.
