EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "James Steel Orchar, 1881" is a stunning oil on canvas masterpiece by John Pettie. The painting measures 59.7x40 cm and can be found at The McManus in Dundee, UK. The subject of this remarkable artwork is James Steel Orchar (1854-91), the son of James Guthrie Orchar (1825-98), who served as the Provost of Broughty Ferry from 1886 to 1898. This exquisite piece belongs to the esteemed Orchar Collection. In this three-quarter length portrait, we see James Steel Orchar dressed in an elegant red cape and wearing a square academic cap or graduate cap known as a mortarboard. His academic gown adds an air of wisdom and authority to his appearance. Pettie's attention to detail shines through in capturing every aspect of Mr. Orchar's profile with precision and skill. The artist beautifully portrays the sitter's distinguished features while also conveying his intelligence and scholarly nature. Dating back to the late nineteenth century Victorian era, this Scottish portrait exemplifies both traditional artistic techniques and cultural heritage. It offers us a glimpse into the life of an accomplished man during that time period. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exceptional artwork for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance today.
