Portrait of Sir Patrick Inglis c. 1790 - 1793

"Portrait of Sir Patrick Inglis" is a life-size oil painting created by Scottish portrait painter Henry Raeburn between 1790 and 1793. It depicts Sir Patrick Inglis, a prominent figure in Edinburgh society, seated in a chair, holding a walking stick and wearing a brown coat and white cravat. The painting, located in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is notable for its striking realism and Raeburn’s signature use of light to highlight Inglis's features and the textures of his clothing. Raeburn’s portraits are considered some of the most important works of the Scottish Enlightenment.
