EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking oil painting depicts Sir John Sinclair of Ulbster, 1st Baronet (1754-1835), a prominent British politician and prolific writer. Known for his significant contributions to Scottish literature, Sinclair authored the influential "Statistical Account of Scotland," a series of 21 volumes that provided a comprehensive overview of Scottish society, economics, and history during the late 18th century. The painting, which dates back to circa 1929, is an exquisite representation of Sinclair in his later years. The artwork was generously lent to the Retrospective Art exhibition held in Brussels during October 1929 by Major Sir Archibald Sinclair of Ulbster, 2nd Baronet (1873-1957), who was also a distinguished Scottish figure, having been awarded the Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG). The painting, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Scotland, is attributed to renowned Scottish artist Henry Raeburn (1756-1823), who is celebrated for his portraits of notable Scottish figures. The painting's presence in the Retrospective Art exhibition in Brussels showcases the international recognition and appreciation for Scottish art and history. Raeburn's masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail bring Sir John Sinclair's character and achievements to life, making this painting a valuable addition to any collection of Scottish art or historical records.
