Marianne von Werefkin was a Russian painter born in Tula in 1860. She studied with Ilya Repin, moved to Munich, and helped found the Blue Rider group, though she is less known than her partner Alexej von Jawlensky. She lived the last years of her life in Ascona, Switzerland, and died there in 1938.
