Portret van Robert Ker 1755 - 1765

"Portret van Robert Ker," a mezzotint by James McArdell, depicts Robert Ker, the Duke of Roxburghe, in a three-quarter length portrait. The Duke is shown in formal attire, wearing a royal robe and lace cravat. The piece is a fine example of 18th-century portraiture, with a focus on realistic depiction and attention to detail. McArdell was a celebrated mezzotint engraver, and this work exemplifies his skill in capturing likeness and texture. The portrait is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
