SIR HENRY RAEBURN. Mrs. Richard Alexander Oswald (Louisa Johnston,? born about 1760, died 1797)

Mrs. Richard Alexander Oswald (Louisa Johnston, ?born about 1760, died 1797). Artist: Sir Henry Raeburn (British, Stockbridge, Scotland 1756-1823 Edinburgh, Scotland). Dimensions: 48 1/2 x 40 7/8 in. (123.2 x 103.8 cm). Date: ca. 1794.
The portrait was painted about a year after the sitter's marriage in 1793 to Richard Alexander Oswald. In praise of her beauty, the Scottish poet Robert Burns wrote a song, "O, Wat ye Wha's in Yon Town." The setting sun brilliantly illuminates the sky through a screen of tree trunks and foliage, a device Raeburn favored in the mid-1790s. The subject is shown seated outdoors holding a book, lost in thought.
