"Self Portrait" by Gwen John is an introspective artwork by the Welsh painter Gwendolen Mary John, known for her delicate and subtle portraits and interior scenes. Born on June 22, 1876, Gwen John grew to become a prominent figure in British art, often overshadowed by her brother, Augustus John, but now recognized for her unique contributions to the art world. This self-portrait is one of several she painted throughout her career, reflecting her evolving style and psychological depth.

The painting is characterized by John's muted color palette and the intimate scale that typifies her work. Her self-portrait exudes a sense of quiet introspection and a contemplative mood, which is a hallmark of her oeuvre. The exact date of this particular self-portrait is uncertain, as Gwen John was known to have painted herself at various stages of her life, but it is believed to have been created in the early 20th century, a period when she was living in France and deeply influenced by the Post-Impressionist movement.

In the portrait, John's gaze is often described as being direct yet distant, engaging the viewer while simultaneously suggesting an inner focus. The composition and the handling of light showcase her skill in rendering form and texture, with a particular emphasis on the nuanced treatment of her own facial features and the fabric of her clothing.

Gwen John's "Self Portrait" is not only a work of art but also a document of the artist's self-perception and her place within the broader context of early 20th-century art. It is a testament to her quiet determination to pursue her artistic vision in an era when female artists struggled for recognition. The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and critics for its contribution to the understanding of the artist's life and the psychological dimensions of portraiture.

This self-portrait is part of a larger body of work that has been exhibited in various galleries and museums, contributing to the posthumous reassessment and appreciation of Gwen John's artistic legacy. The painting is also an important piece for studying the role of women in art history and the personal narrative that female artists like John wove into their work.
