Portrait of the Hon. James Wedderburn (Studio of Sir Henry Raeburn)

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Studio of Sir Henry Raeburn, R.A., P.R.S.A. (Edinburgh 1756–1823)

Portrait of the Hon. James Wedderburn FRSE (1782–1822), half-length

oil on canvas

76.4 x 64 cm.; 30⅛ x 25¼ in.

James Wedderburn FRSE (1782–1822) was the Solicitor General for Scotland between 1816 and 1823, having been the Sherriff-Depute of Peebles for several years prior. His daughter, Jemima (1823–1909), was a a watercolourist and close friend of Ruskin, Trollope and Thackeray. According to his daughter, her father's dark and penetrating eyes 'have an affect in the witnesses in law courts of making them afraid to tell lies'.

This painting appears to be a studio repetition of a painting recorded with the New House Galleries in the early 1960s. Raeburn's portrait of his wife Mrs. James Wedderburn, née Isabelle Clerk, is now in the Yale University Art Gallery.
