Alexander Maconochie Possibly 1777 - 1861

This oil portrait, painted by Scottish artist Henry Raeburn, depicts Alexander Maconochie. The painting is likely from the late 18th or early 19th century, based on the style of clothing and the artist's lifespan. Raeburn is known for his portraits characterized by strong brushwork and bold contrasts, exemplified in this work by the sharp definition of Maconochie's features against the dark background. The portrait captures Maconochie's presence with a focused gaze and poised posture, reflecting the artistic sensibility of the time.
