Description: | 1/2 portrait of Patrick Scougall, shoulder length grey hair emerging from black skullcap, and wearing a black clerical gown, white tailed collar, on a plain grey blackground. Whole work painted coldly, in ovate mount, reframed, relined and cut.
"Bishop and Chancellor of King's College, Scougall was one of the divines who fostered the mystical piety of religion in the North East of Scotland. The portrait is possibly the work of the Scougall family of painters active in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The most likely is John Scougall (c.1645-1737), according to Brydall a cousin of Bishop Patrick and although based in Edinburgh is likely to have had connections to Aberdeen in the early 1680s."
