About the piece
Created in 1909, this striking work by Alexej von Jawlensky is a quintessential example of early 20th-century Expressionism. The artist utilizes intense, saturated colors and simplified forms to create a portrait that prioritizes emotional resonance and visual energy over strict realism, resulting in a powerful statement piece.
