"Nude (the Artist's Wife)" is a notable sculpture created by the British artist and typographer Eric Gill. Completed in 1924, this work is a significant example of Gill's exploration of the human form and his complex relationship with themes of sexuality, spirituality, and the human body. The sculpture depicts Gill's wife, Ethel Hester Moore, in a reclining nude pose, capturing both the intimacy and the idealized beauty that characterized much of Gill's work.

Eric Gill was a prominent figure in the early 20th-century British art scene, known for his contributions to sculpture, printmaking, and typeface design. His work often reflected his deep religious convictions and his interest in medieval craftsmanship. However, Gill's legacy is also marred by revelations of his controversial personal life, including his unconventional sexual practices and abusive behavior, which have led to a re-evaluation of his work and its place in art history.

"Nude (the Artist's Wife)" exemplifies Gill's skill in carving and his ability to convey a sense of serene beauty and spiritual contemplation through the human form. The sculpture is carved from Hoptonwood stone, a material Gill favored for its fine texture and durability. The piece is characterized by its smooth, flowing lines and the harmonious proportions of the figure, which reflect Gill's admiration for classical sculpture and his commitment to the principles of direct carving.

The work is housed in the Tate collection, where it continues to be a subject of both admiration and critical scrutiny. As with much of Gill's oeuvre, "Nude (the Artist's Wife)" invites viewers to grapple with the complexities of the artist's vision and the ethical considerations surrounding his personal conduct. Despite these controversies, the sculpture remains an important example of early 20th-century British art and a testament to Gill's technical prowess and artistic ambition.
