Description
Portrait of Robert Burns by unknown artist. Oil on Canvas. Ebonised wooden rectangular frame.
This painting of Robert Burns is ascribed to Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823) the prominent Scottish artist, although this is refuted by some quarters. This portrait is untypical of the poet as he is depicted with long dark flowing locks.
