About this work

Artist: Alexej von Jawlensky (1864–1941)
Year: 1909
Medium: Oil on cardboard
Original size: 92 × 67 cm
Collection: Museum Wiesbaden
Movement: Expressionism

A young woman in a violet-blue blouse sits with her head bowed over a folded white fan held in her hands, wearing a large hat in blue, green and red, all set against a flat orange-red background. Dark outlines enclose the forms, and the colours are laid on in broad, unmixed patches. Jawlensky painted it in 1909, the year after the first summer in Murnau with Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter and Marianne von Werefkin, and the year they founded the New Artists' Association of Munich. The picture shows his debt to Gauguin and the Fauves and his own leaning toward strong, almost iconic colour. Jawlensky lived in Wiesbaden from 1921 until his death in 1941, and the Museum Wiesbaden holds one of the largest collections of his work.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A woman in violet-blue with a white fan and a flowered hat against flat orange-red, for a bedroom, dressing room or living room at 24×36 in natural wood. A coral, cream or deep blue wall; it pairs with Young Girl with a Flowered Hat.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Lady with Fan in the public domain?

Yes. Alexej von Jawlensky (1864–1941) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Museum Wiesbaden.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Lady with Fan painted, and in what medium?

Lady with Fan dates from 1909 and was made in oil on cardboard; the original measures 92 × 67 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Lady with Fan we'd choose 24×36.
