Portrait painter, Miniature painter, b. 1756 - d. 1823

Artist Sir Henry Raeburn, born in Scotland in 1756, is a painter best known for his portraiture work. Raeburn originally apprenticed as a jeweler and goldsmith before turning his talents toward painting. While he is arguably the most recognized artist in Scottish history, Raeburn's work is also world-renowned. Notable examples of Sir Henry Raeburn's paintings include such famous pieces as The Skating Minister and The Archers.

Though he spent a few developmental years abroad, Raeburn lived most of his life in Edinburgh, where he worked and painted until his death in 1823. In his lifetime, Raeburn received countless awards and honors, including his election to the Royal Academy in London. A year before he died, Raeburn was knighted by King George IV and appointed King’s Limner in Scotland.

  • Sir Henry Raeburn, RA (Scottish, 1756-1823)
    Jun. 24, 2026

    Sir Henry Raeburn, RA (Scottish, 1756-1823)

    Est: £30,000 - £50,000

    Sir Henry Raeburn, RA (Scottish, 1756-1823) Portrait of a naval officer, half length, in uniform, holding a sword in the crook of his left arm and a lace-trimmed cocked hat under his right arm oil on canvas 88.5 x 67cm The present hitherto unrecorded portrait is a significant addition to Raeburn’s oeuvre. No previous visual record of it exists and it was only in recent years that it was brought to the attention of the Raeburn scholars. Raeburn, arguably, truly excelled himself in his portraits of military and naval officers. In this work, he conveys a true sense of engagement with a real, breathing individual which was to be captured only in his finest portraits. The subtle and delicate modelling of the sitter’s head, strongly backlit, contrasts with the much broader handling and bold, square execution of the cravat and hand. This vigorous, virtuoso brushwork, wonderful sensitivity and vibrancy with which Raeburn depicts this officer are all hallmarks of his mature style. In its compositional format, the sitter’s arresting expression and attitude – being slightly turned at an angle and set against a neutral plain background – the present work can be compared to Raeburn's portrait of Lieutenant Colonel George Allan of the 16th Hussars (see Christie’s, New York, 20 October 2020, lot 130, sold for USD 93,750). Due to the portrait’s elusive history, the identity of the sitter has been lost and continues to defy a positive identification. Judging by his coat, the white round cuff, dramatically top-lit with the lower part in shadow, and the notable absence of epaulettes, the officer appears to be depicted in Lieutenant’s 1795-1812 full dress. Epaulettes were introduced on the right shoulder only for Lieutenants from 1812 onwards. Although the sitter’s right shoulder is turned away, epaulettes were usually shown by artists, even if only partly. Therefore, on the basis of the uniform and on stylistic grounds, it is plausible to suggest that the present portrait may be dated to circa 1810-1812. If this tentative dating can be relied upon, then judging from the apparent age and rank of the sitter, it is also possible to conjecture that the sitter is a young naval Lieutenant who was born circa 1786-1790. The present portrait was possibly painted to mark his promotion. The only clue which sheds some light on the portrait’s early provenance is a trade label affixed to the reverse of the frame for ‘Alexander Hill, 67, Prince’s [sic] Street, Edinburgh’ which most probably refers to Alexander Hill’s sideline business of picture framer, carver and gilder. Given the precise text of the label which describes him as ‘Publisher, Printseller, and Colourman to the Royal Scottish Academy…’ a post to which he was appointed in 1841, and his principal premises being located at 67 Princes Street from this year, it is presumed that the portrait was at Hill’s for framing or regilding of its frame and therefore still in Edinburgh sometime in the 1840s. The present portrait is included in David Mackie’s Raeburn, A Critical Catalogue which will be digitally published in the coming weeks. It will be available for consultation or download free of charge at Henryraeburn.co.uk We are grateful to Dr Pieter van der Merwe for his assistance with this catalogue entry. The painting is executed in oil on a linen canvas support which has been lined. The lining appears to be a wax-resin lining with a brown cloth loose lining at the reverse, likely to have been carried out in the 20th century. The picture is attached to an open window stretcher which, probably replaced the original during the lining process. The original tacking edges have also been removed during lining, the cut edge of the original canvas is visible in the frame. The canvas has good tension and is in plane. Old stretcher bar marks in the paint layer indicate the portrait has always been on an open window stretcher. The paint layers are in a good, stable condition overall with no evidence of flaking or extensive loss. A network of age cracks is present across the surface, mainly in a horizontal orientation. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals that the painting has been partially cleaned. The face and lighter areas of the painting have been fully cleaned, but old varnish layers remain in the background and the sitter's jacket. The varnish has slightly degraded with age, in the darker paint passages obscuring some of the subtle details, modelling and tone. Despite this, the varnish is even with a uniform semi-matte gloss. Areas of overpaint are present on top of the varnish, mainly around the edges with few strokes in the sitter's features. There also appears to be an older campaign of restoration in the background, lying beneath the upper varnish and appearing slightly milky and opaque compared to the original. Framed 108 x 87cm

R. Andrew p.104 Nos. 26 and 7), and although not listed alongside these two portraits in Andrew's Life of Sir Henry Raeburn, the present lot is identified in David Mackie's 1994 thesis Raeburn Life and Art (p. 196, No. 64).Lucy Anne was the daughter of Sir Robert Preston, Baronet of Valleyfield Fife.Euphemia (1818 - 1882), their daughter and heiress, married Sir George Augustus Frederick Houstoun in 1847, at which time he adopted the additional surname of Boswell, and it is under Sir George's ownership that the two aforementioned portraits of Euphemia's parents are listed in Andrew's book. Euphemia inherited both the Blackadder estate and the family's Kirkcaldy shipyard upon her father's death in 1830. At the time she was considered to be one of the riches heiresses in Britain. The Blackadder estate was sold in 1924.

    HENRY MACBETH-RAEBURN RA (SCOTTISH 1860 - 1947) DR NATHANIEL SPENS, AFTER SIR HENRY RAEBURN RA (SCOTTISH 1756 - 1823) mezzotint, signed in pencil and Artist's ‘Proof in progress’ 90.5cm x 63cm (including frame) This progress proof was shown as Henry Macbeth-Raeburn's Diploma Work in the RA Summer Exhibition of 1933 (cat. no. 1337; reprod. The Royal Academy illustrated, 1933, p. 5). Macbeth-Raeburn, who had been elected as an Associate Engraver in July 1922 and full Academician on 14 February 1933, was well-known for his mastery of mezzotint in the eighteenth-century manner, and particularly so for his prints after portraits by Henry Raeburn RA, examples of which he had regularly exhibited at the Academy since 1909. Raeburn's original painting of Dr Nathaniel Spens, a celebrated amateur archer, was commissioned in 1793 by the Royal Company of Archers (the King's Bodyguard for Scotland), in whose collection it remains.

    Sir Henry Raeburn United Kingdom, Scotland, (1756 - 1823) Portrait of Mr. Clavering oil on board Artist and title label verso, 107Q catalog. Biography from the Archives of askART: Sir Henry Raeburn was born on March 4, 1756 in Stockbridge, Scotland near Edinburgh. He was a Scottish miller's son whose idealized aristocrats, always gentle and charming, seem to pose in perpetual twilight. He began his career as a miniaturist. In 1778, after marrying into comfortable circumstances, he visited London where he met Reynolds. In 1785 he went to Italy, where he remained for two years. On his return to Edinburgh he became the most important Scottish painter of the century, his career in many ways paralleling that of Reynolds. In 1811 he was elected President of the Royal Society of Artists and in 1815, a Royal Academician. He was knighted by George IV in 1822, when the sovereign was visiting Scotland. Art was a business to this most distinguished of Scotch painters, and from 9 AM to 5:30 PM it kept him regularly in his studio, where he painted a succession of three to four sitters a day. He painted directly on canvas without preliminary sketches, achieving a kind of spontaneity. When he left his easel, it was to speculate in real estate or to play golf. Raeburn died in Edinburgh on July 8, 1823. Written and submitted by Jean Ershler Schatz, artist and researcher from Laguna Woods, California. Sources include: Masterpieces of Art, Catalogue of the New York World's Fair 1940.
