John Johnstone, Betty Johnstone and Miss Wedderburn by Henry Raeburn Art Print

Three people arranged so naturally that it takes a moment to notice how hard the arrangement is. Henry Raeburn painted the Johnstone group around 1790.

Group portraits defeated most of his contemporaries — too many hands, too many eyelines. Raeburn solves it by lighting one face fully, letting the second turn, and holding the third in half shadow, so the picture has a direction to read in.

He was knighted in 1822 and made King's Limner for Scotland the year after, having spent his whole career refusing to move to London.
