Description: | three quarter length portrait of Adam Ferguson, sitting on a large red chair, dressed in black. His left elbow rests on one arm of the chair and his right arm lies along the other. A pile of books lies on a table to his right. The background is filled by a plum-coloured hanging. The painting is a very fine example of Raeburn's middle period. A second version was sold at Christie's in 1906. | Rights holder: | The University of Edinburgh | Subjects: | Oils/Fine Art Portraits/Fine Art Paintings 1600-1800/Fine Art | Temporal: | 1790 | Source: | University of Edinburgh | Creator: | Henry Raeburn | Identifier: | http://hdl.handle.net/10683/413... | Go to resource |
