Portrait of Alexander Keith of Ravelston, Midlothian 

This portrait of Alexander Keith of Ravelston, Midlothian, was painted by renowned Scottish artist Henry Raeburn. The painting depicts Keith standing outdoors, leaning against a tree, his right hand resting on the top of his walking stick. The setting is a natural one, with a rocky background and lush foliage. Raeburn’s masterful use of light and shadow, particularly in the figure's face, creates a sense of depth and realism. The painting is a fine example of Raeburn's signature style, characterized by vigorous brushstrokes, strong composition, and dramatic lighting.
