Description: | Ovate 3/4 portrait of George Keith, 10th Earl Marischal, wearing red jacket with silver embroidery and white cravat. Face almost full, with long silver/grey wig. Almost identical to portrait of Alexander Irvine of Drum. One of three portraits painted while Keith, Irvine and Dunbar were at College together, and painted at the expense of the college (?).
"Painted for Marischal College in 1715 at a cost of £25.16/- Scots when Keith was a student at the college. One of four near contemporary portraits which may have been commissioned to promote the college by celebrating and advertising the attendance of the sons of the nobility at Marischal. See also ABDUA: 30162, 30086 & 30050."
