Study for the brown teapot

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.)

One of four versions of the same composition dated about 1915-16. The foreground is unpainted, the middle-ground partly finished and the background substantially complete. This reveals the artist's later technique; first applying a thin undercoat, then blocking in principal motifs roughly and finally working up the surface in even strokes of dry paint. Working very methodically on several almost identical pictures, she completed half the painting while other areas were barely begun.
