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.)

Gwen John made several nude self-portraits in her room at 87 rue du Cherche-Midi, Paris. She wrote to her friend Ursula Tyrwhitt, ‘I am doing some drawings in my glass, myself & the room … I first draw in the thing then trace it on to a clean piece of paper by holding it against the window.’
