The art market is expecting a new auction record for Tamara de Lempicki's paintings. Her work "Portrait of Dr. Boucard" (1928), depicting French bacteriologist Pierre Boucard, the creator of a cure for diarrhea, will be put up for auction at Christie's in London on March 5. The painting has an estimate of £5-8 million ($6.2-9.9 million). Earlier, in 1983, it was sold for $255,000 at Sotheby's. The painting is also known for its appearance in the TV series Agatha Christie's Poirot. 

Interest in de Lempicki's work continues to grow: six of her most expensive sales have taken place over the past 7 years. The current record of the artist - £16.3 million ($21.2 million) for "Portrait of Marjorie Ferry", sold in 2022. Experts do not rule out that the new auction could set a new record for her work.
