Henry Macbeth Raeburn Sir John Sinclair Mezzotint
This striking mezzotint engraving is of Sir John Sinclair (1784-1835), the 1st Baronet of Ulbster (1784-1835) in the county of Caithness, Scotland. Dressed in his Colonel's uniform of the Inverness & Caithness Fencibles, a regiment he raised in 1794. He was also known as agriculturalist, politician and writer.
The engraving is by Henry Macbeth Raeburn (1860-1947) after the full length portrait painting in oil by his father, Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823) around 1794-95.
Mezzotint is a printmaking process which uses an engraved copper plate and ink to produce a monochrome print on paper. The copper holds a lot of ink due to its finely and evenly roughened surface. Hence mezzotint prints are known for the luxurious quality of its tones. This beautiful example shows the deep solid colours achieved by this printing technique.
Pencil signed by the artist and marked with Third State (refers to the number of retouching stages of the copper plate).
