About the piece
Painted around 1910 by Archibald George Barnes, this oil-on-canvas portrait depicts Captain Francis Alexander Carron Scrimger. The work showcases classical academic technique, with the subject's intelligent gaze and detailed uniform emerging from a deep, moody background. It captures the formal elegance and gravity of early 20th-century military portraiture with exceptional clarity.
