J. D. Fergusson, Silver Jonquils, (1905), Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, Glasgow.
Oil on canvas laid on board, 27 x 31 cms
Fergusson started experimenting with the genre of still life in around 1902. This early example is one of a group in which the style is very similar to that of the fellow Colourist, Peploe. Having chosen to focus on an elegant arrangement of silver, glassware and flowers, Fergusson captures the interplay of light on the diverse surfaces with fluid, expressive brushwork. The limited range of colours set against a dark background is enlivened by thoughtfully placed highlights, attesting to an appreciation and affinity with Manet's technique.
