Still Life with Begonia is a 1911 oil by Alexej von Jawlensky, held at Hamburger Kunsthalle.
This painting features a vibrant still life, with a potted plant and a bowl of fruit as the main subjects. The plant, possibly a begonia, boasts large orange flowers and dark green leaves, set against a blue background. The fruit, including apples and possibly other varieties, is arranged in a blue bowl and on a table or shelf. The artist's use of bold colors and loose brushstrokes creates a dynamic, expressive atmosphere. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, as if the objects in the painting are about to spring to life.
