Derrick Greaves created a number of figurative works representing his family, including a controversial depiction of his first wife – Margaret Johnson, a nurse whom he married whilst studying at the Royal College of Art – nude and heavily pregnant. This portrait of her, on the other hand, is a gentle portrayal in soft brown tones. They had three children who also featured in Greaves’ paintings.
