Alexej Jawlensky — Junges Madchen Mit Zopf
Alexej Jawlensky

Junges Madchen Mit Zopf

A vivid and expressively rendered portrait of a young girl with a braid, painted in Alexej Jawlensky's characteristically bold and emotive style. Rich, intense colors are applied with confident, gestural brushwork, defining the figure's features with simplified yet powerful forms. The work exemplifies Jawlensky's synthesis of Fauvist color and the spiritual depth he drew from Russian icon painting.
