About the piece

Painted around 1790 by the renowned Scottish artist Henry Raeburn, this masterful oil portrait depicts John Johnstone, Betty Johnstone, and Miss Wedderburn. The composition is notable for Raeburn's signature directness and loose, confident brushwork, particularly in the luminous white fabrics and the expressive faces of the sitters.
