This framed fine art piece is a charcoal portrait drawing by Scottish artist J D Fergusson, dating from 1920 in the Scottish Colourist style. The artwork depicts a woman wearing a hat in black conte crayon on paper, set within a cream mount and protected under glass. The piece is housed in an ornate swept giltwood frame with detailed acanthus leaf carving, showing black and gold colour tones and visible textural mouldings along the border. Measurements including the frame are 43 cm high by 35 cm wide, while the drawing itself measures 20 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 0.5 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this artwork is well-suited for placement in a gentleman's library or positioned directly above a sideboard. The framed drawing integrates easily into traditional and eclectic interior schemes where compact original fine art is desired for wall display.

FAQs

Works from this movement feature expressive line work, rapid charcoal strokes, and strong tonal contrasts, capturing modern portraiture with immediacy and Parisian draftsmanship influences.

Charcoal or graphite is applied directly onto woven paper, often mounted under glass and set within carved pine frames finished with gesso and gold leaf composition.

Authentic works exhibit age-appropriate paper toning, natural foxing, artist monograms or signatures, and traditional framing mount techniques from the era.

Hang the portrait as part of a monochrome gallery wall or position it above a dark wood sideboard to create visual contrast against neutral walls.

Keep the artwork under UV-protective glass with acid-free mountboard, away from direct sunlight and high humidity, while dusting the carved gilt frame lightly with a soft brush.
