Alexander Yevgenyevich (1887-1938) was a talented artist known for his captivating portraits and diverse range of subjects. One of his notable works is the Cafe La Rotonde, which showcases the lively atmosphere of the famous Parisian café. In this piece, Yakovlev expertly captures the essence of social interaction and leisure in early 20th century Europe. Another masterpiece by Yakovlev is the Portrait of Boris Grigoriev, painted in 1922. This striking portrait reveals Grigoriev's intense gaze and hints at his complex personality. The artist's attention to detail brings out every nuance in Grigoriev's expression, making it a truly compelling artwork. Yakovlev also immortalized renowned figures such as Anna Pavlova, Sergei Prokofiev, Emil Alphons Rheinhardt, and Boris Alexandrovich Bakhmeteff through his exceptional portraiture skills. His portrayal of ballerina Anna Pavlova captures her grace and elegance on stage during her performance in Don Quijote by L. Minkus. In addition to portraits, Yakovlev ventured into other genres like landscapes and scenes from everyday life. His painting Corrida depicts an exhilarating bullfighting event with vibrant colors that evoke excitement and energy. One particularly noteworthy work is Palmyra from 1933 where Yakovlev skillfully portrays the ancient ruins against a backdrop of vast desert landscapes. This painting reflects both his artistic talent and appreciation for historical sites. Throughout his career, Alexander Yevgenyevich demonstrated versatility as an artist by capturing various subjects with equal mastery. From conducting maestro Serge Koussevitzky to ballerinas Alexandra Balashova and Alexandra Pavlova - he depicted their unique personalities through brushstrokes that brought them to life on canvas. Vasily Shukhaev’s portrait stands out among Yakovlev's works from the end of the 1910s.
