Description: | Colour mezzotint. Wearing full Highland dress, Highland chieftain Alasdair Macdonell of Glengarry stands proudly, apparently in the hall of a grand residence. His right hand supports the barrel of a rifle. The setting of this portrait by Sir Henry Raeburn is likely to be a fictional construction of the artist, rather than the sitter’s ancestral home. The original painting on which this print is based, 'Alexander Macdonell of Glengarry' (1812), is now in the collection of the National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh. | Rights holder: | © Copyright Reserved | Subjects: | Alasdair Ranaldson Macdonell of Glengarry 19th century costume dagger male portrait horn sock soldier Scottish national costume kilt sporran musket officer (army) shield shoe sword | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Sir Henry Raeburn (Artist) | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
