Recovering a Lost Portrait of Robert Fergusson

"My Visage will be deemed a prize" - a portrait of Robert Fergusson has come to light - Prof. Gerard Carruthers gives the background.
About this Event

The portrait of Robert Fergusson (1750-74), privately owned, will be shown in public for the first time at this event, appropriately in the town of Irvine where Robert Burns first discovered and read the poems of Fergusson. Professor Carruthers will discuss the painting and suggest by whom it was painted.
