SIR HENRY RAEBURN R.A. (SCOTTISH 1756-1823)
HALF-LENGTH PORTRAIT OF A LADY
With later inscription verso, oil on canvas
76cm x 63.5cm (30in x 25in)
The later inscription verso suggests that the sitter is Mrs Robert Muirhead. Dr David Mackie records that a portrait of this sitter was exhibited at the Loan Exhibition of Scottish Art and Antiquities, London, in 1931 but that no other record of it has been found and there is no additional evidence to substantiate this claim.
