Alexandre Yakovlev is known for Nude female figure, portrait, landscape and still life painting.Aleksandr Evgenevich Yakovlev was a Russian painter, graphic artist and designer. His initial training in 1905 to 13 was at the Academy of Arts, St. Petersburg, where he studied principally under Dmitry Kardovsky. From 1909 Yakovlev contributed regularly to national and international exhibitions, and he was a member of both the World of Art group and the Union of Russian Artists. He was awarded an Academy scholarship for study in Italy and Spain in 1914 to 15, an experience that left an indelible mark on his stylistic evolution, as is clear from his recourse to Italian Renaissance devices and motifs in paintings such as his portrait of the Mexican artist Roberto Montenegro and The Violinist. One of a kind artwork.
