John Duncan Fergusson (1874-1961) Study of a Lady, Ink on Paper

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Baggott & Co.
Description

John Duncan Fergusson (1874-1961)

Study of a lady

ink on paper

signed, verso

11.5cm H, 9.5cm W (within mount) 31cm H, 28cm W (the frame)

Provenance: Private collection, Scotland.

The verso (the back) of this sketch has various marks in ink and amongst those lines are quite clearly the signature of Fergusson three times over.  The study comprises two joined pieces of paper, the joined section with an inscription in Fergusson's hand saying indistinctly "to Dr M**man?".

John Duncan Fergusson was one of the four Scottish Colourists, born in Edinburgh where he studied at the Edinburgh School of art before moving to Paris.  The colourists enlivened the Scottish art scene, all inspired in France by the Impressionists, exploring light, shade and atmospheric effects through painting en plain air.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

The Scottish Colourist movement emerged in the early 20th century, influenced by French Post-Impressionism and Fauvism, characterised by expressive line drawings, fluid brushwork, and sophisticated light analysis.

Artists during this era typically utilised fluid India ink or iron gall ink applied with dip pens, steel nibs, or fine brushes onto woven paper or rag board stock.

Authentication involves inspecting paper composition, watermark consistency, natural age-related toning, and characteristic calligraphic stroke work associated with documented artist studies.

Display the drawing within an acid-free mount and slim profile frame, positioning the artwork as part of a curated gallery wall or above a console table.

Mount the artwork behind UV-protective glass using archival materials, maintaining stable humidity levels and keeping the paper clear of direct exposure to sunlight.
