Anne Estelle Rice In Paris (Closerie des Lilas (c.1907), Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow.
Oil on board, 27 x 34 cms.
Fergusson spent many years in France before the First World War. He first encountered the American expatriate artist Anne Estelle Rice in Paris in 1904, and subsequently worked with her until 1914. Set in smart Montparnasse, this portrait includes the café 'Closerie des Lilas', a favorite haunt for artists and intellectuals, attesting to the artist's preoccupation with Parisian café-culture. Small enough to have been executed on the spot, this vibrant painting is Fergusson's earliest essay in Fauve portraiture, a style characterized by its employment of expressive, non-representational colour.
