"Maria II" is a notable painting by Russian expressionist artist Alexei Jawlensky (1864–1941). Created in the early 20th century, this work is part of Jawlensky's broader exploration of spiritual and emotional expression through portraiture. Jawlensky, a key member of the Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter) group, was deeply influenced by the ideas of spirituality in art and the use of bold color to convey inner psychological states, which is evident in "Maria II."

The painting features a stylized female face, a recurring subject in Jawlensky's oeuvre, characterized by simplified forms and resonant colors. The work is distinguished by its intense, emotive use of color and the abstracted treatment of the facial features, which reflect the artist's move towards abstraction and the distillation of visual elements to their essential forms. This approach aligns with Jawlensky's quest to transcend the physical world and to express more profound, universal human experiences.

"Maria II" is part of a series of works that Jawlensky painted with the name 'Maria,' which may have been inspired by various sources, including religious iconography, personal relationships, or an idealized feminine archetype. The painting's title suggests a personal significance, possibly referencing the Virgin Mary or another Maria of personal importance to the artist.

Jawlensky's work during this period was marked by a reduction of the human figure to its elemental aspects, using color and form to evoke rather than to describe. "Maria II" exemplifies this reduction, with the face often composed of large, flat areas of color and contoured lines that define the shape and features. The eyes, typically a central element in Jawlensky's portraits, are rendered with particular attention, often imbued with a sense of spiritual intensity or contemplation.

As with many of Jawlensky's paintings, "Maria II" is likely to be held in a private collection or a museum, contributing to the understanding of the development of expressionism in the early 20th century. The painting is an important piece within Jawlensky's body of work, offering insight into his artistic evolution and the broader expressionist movement that sought to convey subjective experiences and emotional responses through the medium of paint.
