Barbara Hepworth, self portrait, 1950, oil and pencil on board.

I’m mostly familiar with Hepworth as a sculptor and have only recently discovered her wonderful drawings. This particular image was created following the disintegration of Hepworth and Ben Nicholson’s marriage, when she was living along in St Ives and represents a time in her life when she adopted the routine of drawing after sculpting.
