About the piece

Painted in 1909, this striking portrait by Alexej von Jawlensky showcases the artist's masterful use of non-naturalistic color and bold, expressive brushwork. The subject, a woman in a voluminous blue garment and a decorative hat, is set against a vibrant orange backdrop, creating a high-energy composition that embodies the spirit of early 20th-century avant-garde art.
