About the piece
Painted in 1765 by Sir Joshua Reynolds, this masterful portrait depicts John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, in full Highland dress. The vibrant red of his tartan jacket contrasts sharply with the brooding, stormy clouds and the rugged Scottish landscape, creating a sense of powerful movement and character.
