The Persian Veil
Artist: John Duncan Fergusson
Circa: 1909

In The Persian Veil, Scottish Colourist J.D. Fergusson weaves Fauvist intensity with a reverent nod to the exotic. The figure, calm and self-possessed, is framed by a riot of abstracted florals and bold, rhythmic brushwork. Painted during a transformative period in Paris, this portrait reflects Fergusson’s embrace of modernist energy—balancing the decorative with the deeply personal. A key member of the Scottish Colourists, his work bridged Celtic romanticism and continental avant-garde movements with flair and confidence.
