an oil painting of a woman's face

These are a couple photos I took of Sir Henry Raeburn's portrait of Alexander Mackenzie in 1822, which is at the Nelson Atkins museum. I love the fresh colors of the skin tones and the graphic quality of the ruffle of his shirt. A fellow Scottish artist referred to that graphic quality as Raeburn's "square touch".

an oil painting of a man in a green suit

Scott's historical novels were read and admired throughout Europe. Those which dealt with Scottish themes, like Heart of Midlothian and Waverley, have had a major influence on how Scots see their own past and on how Scotland is viewed from outside. This portrait was one of the last Raeburn ever worked on, the artist dying only days after its completion. Scott, however, is shown at the peak of his career. Within four years he was bankrupt, and his health was destroyed from the need to write…
