Study of two nudes

JOHN, Augustus (1878-1961)

Although the poses of these figures are similar to those of Adam and Eve in representations of the 'Fall of Man', this picture of around 1906 does not have a narrative subject. It is probably inspired by French nude compositions of the turn of the nineteenth century by such artists as Cézanne and Puvis de Chavannes.
