Image description

Fergusson began work on this ambitious late work during the 1940's basing Danu, the Celtic Mother of the Gods, on Margaret Morris (1891–1980), wearing a costume she had designed for a performance with her Celtic Ballet. Fergusson used a second model, Martha Arnott, for the final stages of the portrait, as Morris was too busy.
