Descripción
A striking Expressionist portrait by Alexej von Jawlensky, featuring bold colours and simplified forms that capture an emotive, subjective likeness.
Alexej von Jawlensky, a member of the Munich-based group Der Blaue Reiter, produced this portrait during a period of intense stylistic experimentation. The work displays the artist's move away from naturalistic representation toward a more subjective, emotive use of colour and form. The subject, identified as an infantin or young Spanish girl, is rendered through bold, simplified shapes and a non-naturalistic palette.
The composition is dominated by the subject's face, which is framed by thick, wavy hair painted in shades of deep blue. Jawlensky employs heavy, visible brushstrokes to define the facial features, using dark outlines to separate areas of colour. The skin tones are constructed from patches of ochre, brown, and green, while the eyes are depicted as large, dark, almond-shaped voids. The background is a flat, uniform green, which pushes the figure to the front of the picture plane.
This painting reflects the influence of Fauvism and the artist's interest in the spiritual potential of colour. By reducing the human face to a series of rhythmic, decorative elements, Jawlensky seeks to capture an inner state rather than a physical likeness. The use of contrasting hues, such as the bright orange and pink accents against the cool blue hair and green background, creates a sense of visual tension. This approach to portraiture became a hallmark of his later work, where he would continue to simplify the human visage into near-abstract icons. The work is a clear example of the Expressionist desire to prioritise emotional resonance over objective reality, using the medium of oil on board to achieve a tactile, immediate quality.

Artist Biography
Alexej Von Jawlensky
By 1934, arthritis had locked Jawlensky's fingers and elbows. He clamped the brush between both hands, arms outstretched, and painted roughly a thousand small canvases he called Meditations. They are among the most concentrated devotional images in modern art, produced by a man who could barely move.
Jawlensky was born in Torzhok, Russia, in 1864, the fifth child of a military family. He trained as an officer in the Imperial Guard before abandoning that career in 1889 to study painting under Ilya Repin in St Petersburg. His patron and companion Marianne von Werefkin, herself a successful painter, financed their move to Munich in 1896. There he met Kandinsky, beginning a friendship that would shape both their careers.
Matisse, Van Gogh and Gauguin all pushed Jawlensky toward bolder colour, but his real catalyst was a trip to Provence in 1905 that convinced him colour could carry spiritual weight without representational accuracy. Back in Munich he produced intense, mask-like portraits: the Mystical Heads (1917 to 1919) and Saviour's Faces (1918 to 1920) drew directly on Russian Orthodox icon traditions from his childhood. He studied theosophy, yoga and Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy, seeking a synthesis of Eastern and Western spiritual practice through paint.
He co-founded the New Munich Artists' Association with Kandinsky and later joined Der Blaue Reiter. In 1924, Emmy Scheyer (whom Jawlensky nicknamed "Galka", Russian for jackdaw) abandoned her own painting career to promote his work in America, forming Die Blaue Vier with Jawlensky, Kandinsky, Klee and Feininger. The First World War had already forced Jawlensky from Germany to Switzerland; he returned to Wiesbaden in 1921 and stayed until his death in 1941, increasingly isolated as the Nazis classified his work as degenerate.
