About the piece

Created in 1912 by Alexej von Jawlensky, this still life exemplifies the bold color and thick, emotive brushwork of the German Expressionist movement. The composition features a dynamic arrangement of fruit, a tall pink vessel, and a delicate purple bowl against a deep blue background, reflecting the artist's focus on color harmony and spiritual resonance.
