About the piece
Painted in 1817 by the renowned Scottish portraitist Henry Raeburn, this work depicts John Baillie in a moment of quiet contemplation. The piece showcases Raeburn's characteristic directness and mastery of light, with the subject's face and white cravat illuminated against a rich, shadowy background.
