About Marianne von Werefkin
Mariamna Vladimirovna Veryovkina, commonly known as Marianne von Werefkin, was a Russian-born painter, active in Germany and Switzerland during the late Belle Époque and interwar periods. She is particularly known for her Expressionist works. Werefkin's first artistically important work phase was before 1890 when she made a name for herself in the realistic painting as the "Russian Rembrandt" of the Tsarist Empire. Jawlensky's painting Die Werefkin im Profil (The Werefkin in profile) was created around 1905.
