Bronze Age Gold from Wales
Female Nude
JOHN, Gwen (Bu Gwen John yn mynychu Ysgol Gelfyddyd Gain y Slade yn Llundain rhwng 1895 a 1898, a bu'n astudio am gyfnod byr ym Mharis. Ym 1903, aeth gyda Dorelia McNeill ar daith gerdded trwy Ffrainc. Erbyn dechrau 1904, roedd wedi ymsefydlu ym Mharis. | Gwen John attended the Slade School of Fine Art in London between 1895 and 1898, and studied briefly in Paris. In 1903, she accompanied Dorelia McNeill on a walking tour through France. By the beginning of 1904, she had settled in Paris.)
For her first ten years in Paris Gwen John meagrely supported herself by working as an artist’s model. This life study of a fellow female model was probably drawn at the Acadèmie Colarossi in Montparnasse, which John attended. The models would have changed positions every half hour.
