JD Fergusson felt that Edinburgh stifled his creativity, and resolved to move to Paris as soon as he could afford to. Between 1907 and 1914 he painted the city tirelessly, particularly favouring the local cafes and streets near his studio in Montparnasse. He exhibited at the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Independants, absorbing the atmosphere in the Closerie des Lilas and relishing the friendships he made and the ideas exchanged.

Painted circa 1908
