Description: | Engraving made by Lizars from the painting made by Martin. Half-length portrait of Ilay Campbell, who is seated, and holding some papers and wearing a wig and robes of the Lord President of the Court of Session (held this post from 1789 to 1808).
"Ilay Campbell (1734-1823) is represented in the robes of the Lord President of the Court of Session a post he held from 1789-1808. His extensive review of the state of the Scottish courts of law, which occupied him for fifteen years following his retiral from the Court of Session is still much regarded."

"Fife born David Martin (1737-97) was a pupil of Allan Ramsay in London and remained there until c.1785 when he returned to Edinburgh. There he became associated with Raeburn thus forming a bridge between the two most celebrated Scottish portrait painters of the eighteenth century. Daniel Lizars (1760-1812), father of W.H. Lizars, was an Edinburgh based engraver mainly of urban subjects."
