Gwen JOHN
Two Houses in a Landscape
Medium Gouache on buff paper
Dimension 16 x 12.3 cm (6¹/₄ x 4⁷/₈ inches)
A closely related composition of a Cottage Behind a Wall is in a private collection, while two others were formerly with the Browse and Darby Gallery in London. All of these may be related to a sheet of compositional sketches by John, today in the collection of the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth, which includes seven similar sketches of houses behind a wall. The setting is probably the rue Terre Neuve in Meudon, the same street where the artist lived until 1932.
Medium: Gouache on buff paper
Signature: Stamped with the estate stamp at the lower left.
Dimension: 16 x 12.3 cm (6¹/₄ x 4⁷/₈ inches)
