Sign. J.D .Fergusson 1910. Gouache On Paper. The piece measures 26 1/2"in H x 22"in W and 35 "in H x 30 1/2" in W with the frame . Born just outside Edinburgh in March 1874, there was no early hint or suggestion that John Duncan Fergusson would be anything other than a traditional member of Edinburgh's middle-class society. His official education culminated at the city's medical school which, to the surprise of his family, he left after two years to enroll at the School of Art. His days as a student there were short-lived as the frustrations with an old fashioned teaching curriculum persuaded him that the only viable alternative was to establish his own studio and teach himself to paint.
