John, Gwen ( Gwendolen Mary) (1876–1939) Welsh painter. The antithesis of her brother, Augustus John, she created restrained, grey-toned portraits of single figures. Her subtlety of characterization and tonal relationships is demonstrated in Self Portrait (c.1900) and Portrait of a Nun (c.1920–30).
