Figure in church
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.)
This work began as a drawing done at the church in Meudon and was worked up later in the studio. Gwen John would sit at the back of the church sketching fellow parishioners. As a result many of these numerous works from 1910s to 1920s show figures from behind or from the side. These are not studies for oil paintings, but finished works in their own right.
