About the piece
Created in 1799, this oil portrait by the celebrated Scottish artist Henry Raeburn depicts John Gray of Newholm. The work exemplifies the artist's ability to capture character through direct, confident brushwork and a dramatic play of light across the subject's features and waistcoat, set against a dark, moody interior.
