Gwen John's "Girl with Bare Shoulders" (1909), a portrait of an anonymous woman, exemplifies her minimalist style. The painting, currently held at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), showcases John's signature use of muted colors, focusing on the subject's delicate features and posture. The woman's white dress, contrasted by a black ribbon tied around her waist, creates a sense of simplicity and elegance. The subdued background allows the subject to take center stage, highlighting her introspective gaze. John, a Welsh painter known for her portraits and landscapes, often explored themes of solitude and feminine identity. Her works have been influential in the development of modern portraiture.
