Biography
Biography
The recorded working language is Dutch. Places of work recorded in the authority are The Hague, Lyon and Toulouse. Works named in the authority record are Fantasy landscape with Saint Carlo Borromeo. Work by Henry Ferguson is recorded in the collections of Rijksmuseum, National Galleries Scotland, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Carcassonne, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Quimper and Musée des Augustins.
He was born in The Hague as the son of William Gowe Ferguson. He worked for a short time in England, because Horace Walpole wrote that he was "a Dutch painter of ruins and landscapes, with which he sometimes was called to adorn the backgrounds of Kneller's pictures, though his colouring was reckoned too dark. He painted a few small portraits, and died in France". He travelled with Adriaen van der Kabel via Lyon to Toulouse, where he later died.
