Jürgenson, Aleksandra (1869-1946). Florists. (1926)
€1250
Watercolour, gouache, and paper come together in this exquisite piece by Aleksandra Jürgenson titled “Florists.” Painted in 1926, the artwork measures 33.5 x 24 and features a signature on the lower right – “Abramzevo 2” and on the reverse – “A.Jürgenson 1926.” Jürgenson was not just a painter but also held prominence as the daughter of Tchaikovsky’s esteemed publisher, Pyotr Jurgenson. Their close connection is evident in her work, as Tchaikovsky himself entrusted her with the responsibility of painting his portrait after she joined the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture. Notably, Tchaikovsky dedicated L’espiegle No12, of the Eighteen Pieces Op72 1893 to Aleksandra. Another testament to her artistic brilliance is her portrait of fellow painter Surikov, which holds a place of honor in the Tretiakov Gallery, Moscow.
