N.B. Alexandre Jacovleff (Aleksandr Yakovlev) was a Russian painter, designer, and graphic artist born and educated in St. Petersburg. In 1916 Yakovlev became a professor at the Institute of Art History in St. Petersburg. However, after the October Revolution in 1917, he immigrated to France, later becoming a French citizen. In the 1920s, Yakovlev worked as an artistic adviser to the car company Citroën and made several foreign expeditions, including to Madagascar, Syria, Iran, Mongolia, China, and Japan. He achieved his initial reputation in the West as an accomplished ethnographic draughtsman, based on his depictions of native types, rituals, and scenes. In the early 1930s, Yakovlev spent three years as Chairman of the Department of Painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts, returning to Paris in 1937, and residing there and on Capri until the end of this life.
When translated from Russian, the artist's name is spelled a variety of ways including Aleksandr Yakovlev and Alexander Evgenievich Iacovleff.
