orbanehill," or
"Mrs Cruikshank," and "Mrs James Campbell."
Born a painter of character, Raeburn was at his best where character,
intellect, and shrewdness were most marked. Yet axiomatic though it
may sound, this implies great gifts. To seize the obvious points of
likeness, and make a portrait more living than life itself is
comparatively easy; but to grasp the essential elements of likeness and
character, and, while vitalising these pictorially and decoratively, to
preserve the normal tone of life is difficult indeed. Of this, the
highest triumph of the portrait-painter's art as such, Raeburn was a
master.
