A three quarter portrait of the ship owner, Walter Runciman. He wears a beard and is dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and bow tie. He stands leaning against a tallboy and looks directly out of the picture space to meet the viewer's gaze. He has his right hand in his pocket and holds his glasses with his left. A man of strong character and striking appearance he was respected throughout the shipping industry for his individualism, geniality, and kindliness. The background is appropriately plain for this life-long teetotaller. His sailing interests are indicated through the model of a sailing ship sitting on the tallboy behind his left shoulder.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting captures the essence of Sir Walter Runciman, a prominent ship owner of the early 20th century. Standing tall and proud, Runciman exudes strength and character as he gazes directly at the viewer with a look of confidence and determination. His beard adds to his distinguished appearance, while his dark suit, white shirt, and bow tie convey a sense of sophistication.
Known for his individualism, geniality, and kindliness, Runciman was highly respected in the shipping industry. The model sailing ship behind him serves as a nod to his passion for all things maritime. Despite being surrounded by simplicity in the background - reflecting his lifelong commitment to teetotalism - Runciman's presence is anything but ordinary.
This portrait by Reginald Henry Campbell beautifully captures not just the physical likeness of Sir Walter Runciman, but also his spirit and legacy. It is a timeless piece that pays tribute to a man who left an indelible mark on the world of shipping and beyond. Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this painting serves as a reminder of Runciman's enduring influence on history.
