Study of two nudes
JOHN, Augustus
(Artist)
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.
