At first, Jakuntschikowa devoted himself to landscape painting and the representation of nature. In the summer of 1888, in Schukowka, where the Polenows lived, the study Das Boot auf der Kljasma was created . In the fall of 1888 she traveled with her family in Western Europe . Her youngest sister Jelena (1882–1888) died in Italy during the trip . In the winter of 1888, doctors diagnosed Yakuntschikova with tuberculosis and recommended climate change. She decided not to continue studying in Moscow and went to Vienna , Italy and Biarritz for treatment . In the summer of 1889 she returned to Moscow and in the autumn traveled with the family to the Paris World Exhibition of 1889 . There she studied at the Académie Julian with William Adolphe Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury . She spent the summers in Russia . She worked on her father's estate in Vvedenskoye near Zvenigorod , where she loved the manor house , and Cheryomushki-Znamenskoye on the outskirts of Moscow and in Abramzewo . Her mural The Silence is there at the entrance to the museum.

In 1894, Yakuntschikowa left the Académie Julian. She rented a studio in Paris and began to work independently. She exhibited her work in the Salon de Paris . She devoted herself to decorative arts , wooden toys , pyrography , embroidery and picture knitting . She also combined pyrography with oil painting . Like her closest friend Jelena Dmitrijewna Polenowa, she was enthusiastic about folk art and collected it. Folk neo-Russian motifs appear in her mural The Town (1896).

In 1896, Yakuntschikowa married the Russian student Léon Weber-Bauler (1870-1956), who studied medicine at the University of Paris . In 1898 they had their son Stepan.

During these years Jakuntschikowa's masterpieces were created. In addition to paintings , she also created majolica and graphics , which influenced the graphic artist Anna Petrovna Ostroumowa-Lebedewa . Members of the Mir Iskusstwa invited Yakuntschikova to their exhibitions. For the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900 , Yakuntschikova contributed to the design of the handicraft department of the Russian pavilion with his own large works of art.

Yakuntchikova's works were exhibited at the second exhibition of the Union of Russian Artists. In 1910 a Yakuntschikowa exhibition took place in the Musée Rath in Geneva . Works by the artist are in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg and the Polenov Manor House Museum in Saoksky Raion .
