About Aleksandr Evgen'evic Jakovlev

Alexandre Jacovleff (1887–1938) was a Russian-born painter, draughtsman, designer, and etcher who spent much of his career in France. Born in Saint Petersburg and trained at the Imperial Academy of Arts, he became associated with neoclassical tendencies in early twentieth-century European painting. Jacovleff was a versatile artist who worked in oil, watercolor, gouache, pastel, and printmaking, and he also produced frescoes and stage designs. His work drew on academic draftsmanship and wide-ranging travel, and his paintings are held in major institutional collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Tate in London. He died in Paris at the age of fifty. Collectors encounter Jacovleff's work primarily through paintings, drawings, and prints that appear at international auction.

Common works and media

Jacovleff's auction and museum records include oil paintings on canvas and panel, watercolors, gouaches, pastels, drawings in pencil and ink, etchings and other prints, and fresco murals. He also designed theatrical sets and produced illustrations. Collectors may encounter figure studies, portraits, travel-inspired scenes, and decorative compositions across these media. Works range from small-scale drawings and prints to large canvases and mural commissions.

Market and appraisal context

Alexandre Jacovleff's work has a documented auction footprint of 16 recorded lots spanning 2008 to 2024, with 7 carrying realized prices. The recorded price range runs from approximately £15,000 (study sheets at Christie's, 2008) to $325,000 (Portrait of a Chinese merchant, Christie's New York, 2008), with a median near £121,250. His strongest results are for travel-inspired oil paintings and major compositions, led by the Christie's and Bonhams sales. Works on paper and smaller studies trade at materially lower levels. The market is anchored by blue-chip houses—Christie's accounts for the majority of priced lots, followed by Bonhams—while regional French houses (Mirabaud-Mercier, Millon & Associés) and MacDougall's handle mid-tier material. Liquidity is thin in recent years: zero priced lots in the trailing twelve months and only one lot in the prior twelve-month window, suggesting that significant works surface infrequently and collectors should not assume rapid resale availability.
