"Mrs Hamilton, daughter of James Morison, Provost of Aberdeen, married Robert Hamilton in 1783. She wears a red cloak, a standard rural garment and rather old-fashioned by 1810. Her collar and hat, an echo of Tudor costume, is part of the Romantic revival in the second decade of the nineteenth century. John Moir (1775-1857) was born in Peterhead and trained in Edinburgh and Rome. Initially a landscape painter he became increasingly known as a portrait painter. He painted a number of portraits of the Gordon family including '4th Duke of Gordon' now in SNPG."
