More about this artwork
"A Beauty" by John William Godward is a captivating painting that effortlessly draws the viewer into a quiet moment of contemplation. This expressive portrait features a young woman, her gaze both serene and direct, creating an intimate connection with the viewer. Godward's mastery in rendering the softness of her skin and the delicate textures of her white blouse exemplifies his skill in portraying the grace and elegance of his subjects. The rich, warm background complements her dark hair and the subtle tones of her clothing, focusing all attention on her gentle expression. The painting's refined detail and the harmonious balance of color showcase Godward's commitment to the Neo-Classical style, which often celebrated the beauty and simplicity of its subjects.

John William Godward was an English painter from the end of the Neo-Classicist era. He was a protégé of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, but his style of painting fell out of favor with the rise of modern art.
Godward was born in 1861 and lived in Wilton Grove, Wimbledon. He was born to Sarah Eboral and John Godward (an investment clerk at the Law Life Assurance Society, London).
