"Mr. John Campbell, Precenter in Cannongate Church" is a stipple engraving by Scottish artist John Kay, created between 1779 and 1789. The portrait depicts Campbell in profile, his mouth slightly open as if in the act of singing. Kay was known for his satirical engravings, often depicting figures from Edinburgh society, and this work showcases his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. The work is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection in New York.
