EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 18th century portrait depicts Alexander Baron Seton (1738-1814), a prominent jurist and landowner of Scottish descent, who spent significant time in both Sweden and Scotland. The painting, created in the late 18th century, captures Seton in formal attire, wearing an elegant red coat and overcoat, with a crisp white shirt and a cravat adorned with a bow. Seton's aristocratic status is further emphasized by his elegant posture and the refined setting of the portrait. Born in Scotland, Seton was the nephew of and adopted son of George Seton. He was married twice, first to Elizabeth Angus and later to Anne Innes of Cathlow. Seton's ownership of Ekolsund in Sweden from 1786 to 1828 is a testament to his international connections and wealth. The portrait was painted by the renowned Scottish artist, Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823), who is known for his masterful use of color and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. Raeburn's painting style is characteristic of the Romantic era, with its emphasis on emotion and individuality. In this portrait, Seton is depicted looking away from the viewer, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. This portrait is now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it is a cherished piece of heritage art and a reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange between Scotland and Sweden during the 18th century.
