About the piece
Painted in 1787 by David Allan, this formal portrait depicts William Inglis, a surgeon and captain of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers. Captured with a golf club in hand and his caddy standing nearby, the work serves as a significant early record of the sport, set against a sprawling pastoral background where other figures are seen at play.
