Women In Water - Audrey Hepburn (III), 2025

A hand-signed study for a painting on paper by James Francis Gill.

Pop Art pioneer James Francis Gill explores femininity through the shifting, fluid lens of water in this markedly intimate and expressive series.

Using a luminous palette and layered brushwork, Gill paints with beautifully saturated shades of blue to create reflections and distortions that are both photorealistic and atmospheric.

Capturing an intimate close-up of fashion and film icon Audrey Hepburn in a sunlit blue pool, Gill encourages us to consider the star through a lens of vulnerability, liberation and quiet intensity.
