1920s Female Nude Standing
A beautifully observed and executed piece of a standing female model by this accomplished and well known artist. The subject almost appears to be at her ease but this must have been quite an unusual situation for which a young lady of the day to find herself. This drawing is one of 8 in a folio of recently discovered life drawings by the artist, all of which date from the 1920's and the subjects just exude the character and style of the Roaring Twenties in their faces, hairstyles and poses.

Aside from her few London views, she is known to have worked extensively in and around the areas of Stratford-upon-Avon and Mousehole in Cornwall she also travelled to Spain and Portugal in search of subjects for her plates. Gwen May was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers and an accomplished wood engraver and watercolourist, exhibiting at the Royal Academy regularly in the pre-war years. A commemorative award for etching and engraving named after Gwen May is presented every year at the National Print Exhibition.
