{"product_id":"self-portrait-alexandre-iacovleff","title":"Self-portrait - Alexandre Iacovleff","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed self-portrait of Russian artist Alexandre Iacovleff in his studio, capturing the artist at his easel surrounded by his tools and works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlexandre Iacovleff, a Russian painter known for his technical precision and travels across Asia, presents himself here within the confines of his studio. The composition captures the artist at his easel, turning his head to engage the viewer with a direct, steady gaze. He wears a loose-fitting blue smock, a practical garment for a working painter, which contrasts with the controlled, academic application of paint on the canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe studio environment functions as a secondary subject. Several framed paintings hang on the wall behind him, suggesting a space filled with his own output. A wooden artist's mannequin sits on a sofa in the background, a common tool for studying anatomy and drapery. To the right, a ceramic pot holds a collection of brushes, their handles protruding in a cluster that balances the composition. The lighting is even and cool, typical of a north-facing studio space, which allows for the clear definition of form and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIacovleff was a graduate of the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg. His work often reflects a return to classical values, prioritising draughtsmanship and structural integrity over the more experimental tendencies of his contemporaries. This self-portrait demonstrates his ability to render volume and space with clarity. The perspective is carefully managed, drawing the eye from the foreground brushes to the artist, and finally to the background elements that define his professional life. The palette remains restrained, relying on blues, ochres, and muted browns to maintain a sense of realism. This work provides a glimpse into the daily practice of an artist who moved between the traditions of the Russian Academy and the broader international art scene of the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/self-portrait-at-the-age-of-twenty-four-jean-auguste-dominique-ingres\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait at the Age of Twenty-Four by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/self-portrait-ferdinand-roybet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait by Ferdinand Roybet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/alexandre-jacovleff\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAlexandre Jacovleff prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alexandre Jacovleff","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461858951503,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461873140047,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461873172815,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461873205583,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461873238351,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461873271119,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461873303887,"sku":null,"price":560.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461873336655,"sku":null,"price":560.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461873369423,"sku":null,"price":560.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461873402191,"sku":null,"price":570.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461873434959,"sku":null,"price":570.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Self-portrait_Poster_CompositorV1_1792112728220.jpg?v=1794356652","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/en-nz\/products\/self-portrait-alexandre-iacovleff","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
