## About Mikhail Shemyakin

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.

## 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.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when available. For this name, biographical and market records require lot-level reconciliation before they can support a unified artist profile.
