Description: | IU; the original backboard had a hand-written ink inscription on its verso: "JD s. b. l. "Fergusson"; CRE FERGUSSON, John Duncan; (Scottish; 1874-1961) Purchased from Merle E. Taylor at the same time as "Les Bourgeois" in 1956.
The music hall greatly interested Fergusson, in particular its spectacle and the often striking appearance of the performers and female spectators.
The facial type of the singer, with her elongated eyes and sensual simplified features, is typical of contemporary portraits by Van Dongen and Derain. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | GENRE : FIGURE : FRANCE : SCOTTISH COLOURIST : CONCERT : SOCIETY : SATIRE : ENTERTAINEMENT : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
