Simister, Living Paint: J. D. Fergusson 1874-1961, Edinburgh and London, 2001, a version illustrated p. 80 and listed in the catalogue as no. 161.A. Strang, E. Cumming, and S. McGregor, J. D. Fergusson, Edinburgh, 2013, a version illustrated p. 106.Fergusson's sketchbooks of 1921 record his delight in the goats that roamed the rocky outcrops near the sea at Harlech in North Wales, where Margaret Morris was hosting a dance summer school. These wild mountain goats inspired this particularly memorable small sculpture. According to Morris, 'What fascinated Fergusson was the way their hair grew...it was long but stood out in frills round their legs, like trousers. Fergus made endless drawings of them, but said they must be done as sculpture, so when back in London he got a lump of plasticine...then he carved it into a goat'.
