He was educated privately and at the University of Aberdeen and joined the army in 1778 rising to the rank of Captain by 1781. However he was placed on half pay in 1783 and finally gave up his commission in 1784. In 1786 he married Helen, the sister of Francis Humberston Mackenzie, Lord Seaforth, who appointed him Major in the 78th Highlanders. He was Member of Parliament for Cromartyshire (1802-6), when he was returned for Rosshire. In 1806 he commanded an ill-fated expedition to Alexandria, which hoped to secure British Supremacy in Egypt. At the time of his death he was described as one of the most popular, if not one of the most able generals in the British Army. Another version of the same portrait, also after Raeburn, is in the collection of the National Trust for Scotland at Castle Fraser, Inverurie [2009.239].

He came to public attention when he was awarded first prize in a competition judged by John McCraw, a blind musician, who stated that he 'would ken his bow hand amoung a hunder(d) players.' Gow's success brought his music making to the attention of the Duke of Atholl, through whose patronage Gow secured performances for balls and dance parties put on by the nobility which made his reputation as a musician and composer.

Est: £6,000 - £8,000
SIR HENRY RAEBURN R.A. (SCOTTISH 1756-1823) HALF-LENGTH PORTRAIT OF MR WILLIAM MACKENZIE Oil on canvas (76cm x 63.5cm (30in x 25in)) Provenance: William Mackenzie, Edinburgh Acquired by descent to Miss E. G. Mackenzie, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa Newhouse Galleries, New York Mr. and Mrs. F. Howard Walsh, Fort Worth, Texas, 1966 Walsh Family Art Trust Literature: David Mackie, Sir Henry Raeburn Catalogue Raisonné, 6 volumes, unpublished manuscript, vol.III, pp. 642-643, no.505 Exhibited: Durban Art Gallery, Natal, South Africa, "Treasures from Natal Homes", November 1959 Note: David Mackie makes reference to this portrait of William Mackenzie in his Henry Raeburn catalogue raisonné, having been supplied with a reproduction of the painting by the Newhouse Galleries, New York in 1988, and asserted that it appeared to be a late example of Raeburn's work. He does not make reference to the portrait of Mrs Mackenzie (Lot 108). Henry Raeburn’s portraiture is intimate. It does not wholly subscribe to the formal Romantic mode widely practiced by his contemporaries, instead presenting its subjects with sensitivity, individuality and warmth. His sitters appear as if mid-gesture, mid-breath, emerging from the shadowy depths of their composition and advancing towards a light source located not far behind the viewer. This effect is achieved with deft, confident strokes of pigment: note, for example, the mark-making used to denote his gentleman sitters' cravats (see also: lot 107), almost daring in its abbreviation; this is an artist fully aware of his talent and how best to wield it. While the soft light of the Mr Newbigging portrait (lot 107) is characteristic of Raeburn’s earlier painting, later in his career he lit his subjects more dramatically, such as we see in these portraits of Mr and Mrs Mackenzie. In heightening his tonal contrast, Raeburn could shroud landscape or interior settings (in which he had little interest) in shadow, instead directing the viewer’s attention, through glowing illumination, towards his subject’s face and gestures to subtly elucidate mood and expression and enhance the intimate atmosphere. Raeburn was nevertheless an Enlightenment man who held fundamental truth as his objective, and he approached portraiture with commensurate empiricism: throughout his career he insisted that his subjects sat before him so that he could compose their likeness directly onto the canvas, rather than working from preparatory drawings. Raeburn is celebrated today as one of Scotland’s greatest artists, not least for his iconic oil of the ‘Skating Minister’ (Reverend Robert Walker Skating on Duddingston Loch, National Galleries of Scotland, NG 2112). Despite this, his beginnings in life were unassuming. Orphaned at a young age and fostered by his elder brother, the teenaged Raeburn seems to have first turned his hand to portraiture while apprenticed to an Edinburgh jeweller and goldsmith. He first produced miniatures, but within a matter of years he transitioned to oil painting. He worked from Edinburgh throughout his career, and by the end of his life was decorated with accolades, including an appointment as Painter and Limner to King George IV, alongside membership of the Royal Academy, Royal Society of Edinburgh and American Academy of Fine Arts.

Est: £6,000 - £8,000
SIR HENRY RAEBURN R.A. (SCOTTISH 1756-1823) HALF-LENGTH PORTRAIT OF JAMES NEWBIGGING OF WHITEHOUSE Oil on canvas (76cm x 63.5cm (30in x 25in)) Provenance: Adam Rolland, Esq., Gask, Scotland, by 1876 to after 1901 Weekes (according to Greig), by 1911 Thomas Agnew & Sons, London Mrs Henry Morgenthau, New York, by 1939 Newhouse Galleries, New York, NY Mr. and Mrs. F. Howard Walsh, Fort Worth, Texas Walsh Family Art Trust Literature: Sir Walter Armstrong, Sir Henry Raeburn: A Study, London, 1901, p.109 Edward Pinnington, Sir Henry Raeburn, W. Scott, London, 1904, p.243 James Greig, Sir Henry Raeburn, R. A.: His Life and Works, with a Catalogue of his Pictures, The Connoisseur (Otto Ltd), London, 1911, p.55 David Mackie, Sir Henry Raeburn Catalogue Raisonné, 6 volumes, unpublished manuscript, vol.III, pp.718-719, no.574 Note: In his catalogue raisonné David Mackie suggests a date of c.1795. Henry Raeburn’s portraiture is intimate. It does not wholly subscribe to the formal Romantic mode widely practiced by his contemporaries, instead presenting its subjects with sensitivity, individuality and warmth. His sitters appear as if mid-gesture, mid-breath, emerging from the shadowy depths of their composition and advancing towards a light source located not far behind the viewer. This effect is achieved with deft, confident strokes of pigment: note, for example, the mark-making used to denote Mr Newbigging's cravat, almost daring in its abbreviation; this is an artist fully aware of his talent and how best to wield it. James Newbigging of Whitehouse was a solicitor and Writer to the Signet. In the late 1790s he was elected Clerk to Sir Henry Dundas whose political power in Scotland was at the time unsurpassed. Raeburn’s portrayal of Newbigging is tender and full of quiet personality: his sideways look and slightly pursed lips suggest a degree of reservation, the solicitor used to scrutinising others perhaps unused to Raeburn’s own scrutinising gaze. While little is known of Newbigging’s life, a painting of his wife is also listed in David Mackie’s catalogue raisonné, with a note that both portraits passed to their daughter Ann and her husband Adam Rolland of Gask. This portrait should therefore be understood as a private object of familial sentiment, as well as a public-facing record of Newbigging’s prominent standing in Edinburgh society, a dichotomy to which Raeburn’s style feels uniquely suited. Raeburn is celebrated today as one of Scotland’s greatest artists, not least for his iconic oil of the ‘Skating Minister’ (Reverend Robert Walker Skating on Duddingston Loch, National Galleries of Scotland, NG 2112). Despite this, his beginnings in life were unassuming. Orphaned at a young age and fostered by his elder brother, the teenaged Raeburn seems to have first turned his hand to portraiture while apprenticed to an Edinburgh jeweller and goldsmith.

Property of a Gentleman Sir Henry Raeburn (1756 - 1823) Mrs. David Monypenny, Maria Sophia Abercromby, Lady Pitmilly (1781 - 1842), circa 1811 Oil on canvas In a carved giltwood frame Gallery labels verso Lot Essay: Raeburn painted several portraits of the Abercromby family, including Sir George Abercromby and his wife. Maria Sophia Abercromby was the third daughter of Sir George Abercromby, 4th Baronet of Birkenbog in Fyfe and his wife, Jane Ogilvy, the eldest daughter of Alexander, 7th Lord Banff. In 1810 she married the Hon. David Monypenny (born 1769). He became Solicitor-General on 22 February 1811, was admitted a Lord of Session on 25 February 1813, when he took the title of Lord Pitmilly, and also became a Lord of Justiciary. Provenance: Of particular interest is the 20th Century provenance of the present work, which was purchased in 1917 by Edward Townsend Stotesbury for Whitemarsh Hall in Philadelphia, where it hung in the drawing room. Stotesbury was from a Philadelphia Quaker family and became Philadelphia's wealthiest citizen, an international banker who rose to senior partner of Drexel & Co. and J. P. Morgan & Co. Between 1916 and 1921 he built the vast neo-Palladian Whitemarsh Hall at Chestnut Hill as a present to his wife. The famed American industrialist Henry Ford, after a visit to Whitemarsh Hall, is quoted as having said: 'It was a great experience to see how the rich live.'

Source; Paul Mellon Centre Photographic Archive: Sir Everard Radcliffe, Bart, M. C, Christie's sale 24 November 1972, lot 105, bought Ledbury Gallery. Biography from the Archives of askART: Sir Henry Raeburn was born on March 4, 1756 in Stockbridge, Scotland near Edinburgh. He was a Scottish miller's son whose idealized aristocrats, always gentle and charming, seem to pose in perpetual twilight. He began his career as a miniaturist. In 1778, after marrying into comfortable circumstances, he visited London where he met Reynolds. In 1785 he went to Italy, where he remained for two years. On his return to Edinburgh he became the most important Scottish painter of the century, his career in many ways paralleling that of Reynolds. In 1811 he was elected President of the Royal Society of Artists and in 1815, a Royal Academician. He was knighted by George IV in 1822, when the sovereign was visiting Scotland. Art was a business to this most distinguished of Scotch painters, and from 9 AM to 5:30 PM it kept him regularly in his studio, where he painted a succession of three to four sitters a day. He painted directly on canvas without preliminary sketches, achieving a kind of spontaneity. When he left his easel, it was to speculate in real estate or to play golf. Raeburn died in Edinburgh on July 8, 1823. Written and submitted by Jean Ershler Schatz, artist and researcher from Laguna Woods, California.

SIR HENRY RAEBURN (United Kingdom/Scotland, 1756-1823) PORTRAIT OF JOHN BALFOUR, M.P.

John Balfour was, for over half a century, head of the Orkney Branch and the family derives its' name from Balfour Castle in Fifeshire.

He was elected to the House of Commons as Member for Orkney and Shetland, first in July 1790 and secondly in April 1920. He lived in London and died in 1842. This portrait was recorded in Mr. James Greig's monograph on Raeburn. SIZE: 30" x 25". Overall: 37" x 32". PROVENANCE: Descended in the family of Albert L.

Est: $15,000 - $25,000
Sir Henry Raeburn (British, 1756-1823) Mrs. Graham Young and child, circa 1810 Oil on canvas 40-3/4 x 37-1/2 inches (103.5 x 95.3 cm) Written in chalk on stretcher: Rosenheim; in chalk on reverse of lined canvas: 35; numbered twice on stretcher: 12 Small handwritten label verso: 11363 / Raeburn / Mrs. Graham Old handwritten label on stretcher: Mrs. Graham Young of West Calder N.B. by Sir Henry Raeburn R.A. PROPERTY OF A TEXAS MUSEUM PROVENANCE: Galerie Charles Sedelmeyer, Paris, as of 1899; M.H. Rosenheim, as of 1911 (1); Newhouse Galleries, New York, as of 1961 (label on backing board, inv. no. 15049) (2); Bertram Maurice Newhouse (1883-1982); Presented by him in 1969 to the present owner. LITERATURE: Illustrated Catalogue of the Fifth Series of 100 Paintings by Old Masters of the Dutch, Flemish, Italian, French, and English Schools, Being a Portion of the Sedelmeyer Gallery..., Paris, 1899, p. 110, no. 91. illustrated; J. Greig, Sir Henry Raeburn, R.A. His Life and Works, with a Catalogue of His Pictures, London, 1911, p. 63. On stylistic grounds, the present work may be dated to Raeburn's later years when he began to essay more elaborate, dramatic compositions in keeping with his interest in the current mode of London-based portraiture. (In 1810 he considered moving to the British capital, but then changed his mind and returned to his base in Edinburgh.) Here, for example, the child, in a muslin dress, reaches up with her right hand at a rose proffered by Mrs. Young, all of which forms a pyramidal composition in the upper half of the painting field. This touching gesture appears in another painting by Raeburn, John Tait and His Grandson (National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.), which began c. 1793 as a portrait of Tait alone, but was supplemented after his death by the figure of a grandson (gazing up at Tait's watch) in about 1800. As with that painting, the child's costume "spreads out in an amorphous way in order to fill the canvas." Moreover, the sitters' heads in both works "are strongly lit (not from the glowing sky but from studio top-lighting), a feature characteristic of Raeburn's style by 1800....," (J. Hayes, The Collections of the National Gallery of Art, Systematic Catalogue: British Paintings of the Sixteenth through Nineteenth Centuries, Cambridge, 1992, p. 200). According to a handwritten inscription on an old label affixed to the painting's stretcher, the woman sitter is "Mrs. Graham Young of West Calder N.B.," a town some twenty miles southwest of Edinburgh. No further information is known about Mrs. Young, who may have been related by marriage to Raeburn's lawyer, in his later years, Arthur Young, but this remains a hypothesis only. A notable feature of this painting is the prominence given to Mrs. Young's supporting left hand, on which is a brilliantly painted, elaborate jeweled ring. That feature recalls Raeburn's early apprenticeship with an Edinburgh jeweler, James Gilliland, which had repercussions on his later work. As one student of the artist, Duncan Thomson, writes: "While Raeburn's portraits at the height of his career are marked by a consummate breadth of handling, they often contain passages of finely wrought detail that are easy to link to his earliest training." (www.oxfordartonline.com http://www.oxfordartonline.com; entry on Sir Henry Raeburn) The canvas support, a prepared twill weave, is a consistent one throughout Raeburn's career (see essay by J. Dick, "Raeburn's Methods and Material," in exh. cat., Edinburgh, Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Raeburn: The Art of Sir Henry Raeburn, 1756-1823 [cat. by D. Thompson],1997, pp. 41-42). The first record of this work dates from 1899, when it was owned by the prominent Vienna-born, Paris- and London-based art dealer, Charles Sedelmeyer (1837-1925). Over several decades the Sedelmeyer Gallery owned a very large stock, which included forty paintings by Sir Henry Raeburn (on that subject, see O. Meslay, "Raeburn and France," in Henry Raeburn: Context, Reception and Reputation [ed. by V. Coltman and S. Lloyd], Edinburgh, 2012, pp. 341-343). NOTES: (1) For the previous collection history, see J. Greig, 1911, cited above. A chalk inscription "Rosenheim" appears on the painting's stretcher. (2) See advertisement in Antiques, LXXX, September 1961, p. 286. The Newhouse Gallery inventory number is inscribed on a label on the painting's backing. HID04901242017
