This large portrait was exhibited at the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington, DC and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. The sitter is Mrs. Ann Harding, who is captured by Ferguson in a neoclassical pose, occupying an other-worldly landscape, perhaps inspired by Italian surrealist Giorgio di Chirico.
