George Harley Drummond (1783–1855)

Artist: Sir Henry Raeburn (British, Stockbridge, Scotland 1756–1823 Edinburgh, Scotland) Date: ca. 1808–9 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 94 1/4 x 58 in. (239.4 x 147.3 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Gift of Mrs. Guy Fairfax Cary, in memory of her mother, Mrs. Burke Roche, 1949

The sitter, dressed in riding clothes, is George Harley Drummond of Stanmore, Middlesex, and Drumtochty. He married in 1801 and his son George, shown in The Drummond Children (50.145.31), was born in 1802. The foreshortened view of the grazing bay horse is the most complex part of the composition, though not the most important. It is curious, therefore, that the animal's hindquarters should be so prominently displayed.
