Conversation in Capri 1936

"Conversation in Capri" is a painting by Alexandre Jacovleff from 1936 that captures a scene of everyday life in Capri, Italy. The painting depicts three figures: a woman in a white dress, a man standing in a doorway, and a man carrying a basket. The woman, who is the central figure, is looking out towards the viewer, while the other two figures are engaged in conversation. Jacovleff's painting conveys the warmth and charm of Italian life through its vibrant colors and expressive brushstrokes. The figures, rendered with a degree of realism, seem to possess a sense of both intimacy and anonymity, creating a timeless moment of casual interaction. The painting’s style is similar to other works by the artist, with a focus on capturing the spirit and atmosphere of the places he visited.
