About the Item
Alexandre Jacovleff (1887–1938), born in Saint Petersburg and later naturalized as French, was a prominent Russian painter. The son of a naval officer, he studied at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg under Dmitri Kardovsky and formed a friendship with Vassili Choukhaiev. Active in the Mir Iskousstva movement, he left Russia in 1917 to travel through Asia, including China and Japan.
Settling in Paris in 1920, Jacovleff gained recognition through exhibitions and publications, including Drawings & Paintings of the Far East. In 1924, he became the official painter of the Black Cruise, traveling across Africa and creating 300 drawings. He later designed sets for the ballet Semiramis at the Paris Opera and directed the drawing school at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
This painting is one of the portraits Alexandre Jacovleff created during his journey with the Black Cruise. It depicts a Congolese man.

David Finsonius (Veere 1597- Bergen op Zoom 1646/1648)
Portrait of a girl with a rose and a red coral necklace
With traces of the artist’s signature and annotated AETATIS S.V. 2 1⁄2 Ao 1631
Oil on panel, H. 104.5 x 79.5 cm
Provenance:
Purchased by Jonkheer Helenus Marius Speelman (1857-1909), Kasteel de Wittenburg; thence by
descent
The work shows a strong resemblance to a portrait by Finsonius in the North Brabant Museum. This
signed and dated "Girl with Basket and Cherries" (Inv. 15529), was painted just a year later, in 1632.
Not only are the paintings remarkably similar in overall size and format, in painting style, and in the
positioning of the girls in full length in their white lace dresses. They are also connected by the
iconographic scheme of the respective coral necklaces, each with a gold memorial medal hanging
from it. Although they are of course individuals, the faces are very similar in their depictions of
features such as eyes, nose, and lips. This points to the same technique applied by the same painter.
Finally, the handwriting is almost the same on the works by Finsonius known so far.
