He first painted her in 1907, and portrayed her at least six more times. This portrait, small enough to have been executed en plein air, is the third one, and is Fergusson?s first essay in Fauve portraiture.
Set in fashionable Montparnasse, it includes the café ?Closerie des Lilas? in the background, a reminder of the artist?s taste for Parisian café society. | 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: | HEAD : STREETSCENE : PORTRAIT : WOMAN : PARIS : SCOTTISH COLOURIST : STREET : CAFE : FAUVE : ANNE ESTELLE RICE : MRS RAYMOND DREY : CLOSERIE DES LILAS : MONTMARTRE : | 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 |
