Taken by David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, this portrait showcases Leitch in full length attire, dressed in an intriguing fancy dress costume. With a touch of humor and creativity, the image reflects his profession as a painter while also hinting at his religious inclination through the presence of a monk's robe. The photograph is beautifully composed, highlighting Leitch's strong presence and capturing his unique personality. The salted paper print technique used adds depth to the image, giving it a timeless quality that transports us back to Scotland during that era. Hill and Adamson were pioneers in their field, known for their exceptional skill in capturing people's true essence through photography. This particular piece represents their artistic prowess as they seamlessly blend elements of portraiture with conceptual ideas.
