About the piece

Created around 1900, this energetic still life by Alexej von Jawlensky captures the spirit of early Expressionism. The work is defined by its thick impasto technique, where short, rhythmic dabs of saturated color build volume and light across the apples and glass bottles, set against a deep, atmospheric blue background that pulses with visual energy.
