Description: Huge oil on canvas portrait of Mrs. Isabella Blair from the 18th century, Scotland. Half-length photograph of Mrs. Blair dressed modestly and sporting an ornate bonnet. Outstanding quality and condition akin to Raeburn's later works. It is possible that this is the same sitter that Raeburn commissioned to paint a portrait of her after she had an affair with her husband, Rt Hon. Robert Blair, under the title "Mrs. Isabelle Blair (nee Halkett)" displayed in a nice gilded frame. Measuring approximately 34" by 29" when framed.
