The artist was born Tamara Gorska in Warsaw, in 1898 or 1902. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg and married a man named Lempicki.
After the Russian Revolution, she moved to Paris in 1918 (with her parents and her sister Adrienne), where she immersed herself in the cosmopolitan life of French high society.
In 1938, she emigrated to the United States and settled in Beverly Hills. After the Second World War, she traveled throughout America and Europe under the name Baroness Kuffner. She died in Mexico in 1980.

With effortless ease, the painter draws on motifs from different centuries, uses styles and materials from the history of art and culture, and quotes, satirizes, invents and parodies in order to create a seductive novelty from their interplay.
On the one hand, we can still see the 19th century; on the other, the power of the 20th-century machine world is heralded. Tamara de Lempicka was particularly receptive to the abundant references to Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

Nevertheless, she was and remains a representative painter of Neue Sachlichkeit. Her portrait of Doctor Boucard, the inventor of Lactéol, is a typical example of the movement. His short hair, neatly combed straight back, his simple yet elegant trench coat, his tie with a stylish tie clip, his alert and intelligent expression, and the attributes of the scientist (the microscope and test tube) make Doctor Boucard a realistic representative of the new positivist science.

The original painting is held in a private collection in Paris, France.
