Robert Stewart (1774/5-1799) of Castle Stewart and St Fort

"Robert Stewart (1774/5-1799) of Castle Stewart and St Fort" is a painting created between 1790 and 1799 by Henry Raeburn. 



The artwork depicts Robert Stewart seated on a rustic wooden chair, set against a backdrop of a landscape with trees and a hazy sky. 



Stewart is portrayed as a light-skinned man with powdered, short, curly, light-blonde hair styled in a fashion typical of the late 18th century. He wears a dark green coat with light-colored detailing on the lapels and cuffs, over a cream-colored waistcoat and breeches. His attire is completed with white stockings and shoes. His posture is relaxed, his hands resting on the arms of the chair. The painting's style is characteristic of Raeburn's work, with a focus on capturing the sitter's likeness and conveying a sense of his character.



The painting measures 1.016 meters in width and 1.27 meters in height and is housed at Montacute House.
