Winifred John in a large hat

JOHN, Gwen

The model for this work is Gwen John’s younger sister Winifred (1879-1967) who was a violinist and emigrated to America in 1905. This vigorously drawn portrait shows great spontaneity. It was drawn around the time Gwen John was studying at the Slade School of Art, London.
