EDITORS COMMENTS
In this mezzotint print, we are transported back to the 18th century and introduced to the distinguished figure of William Drummond of Hawthorndon. Created by the skilled British artist John Finlayson, this artwork showcases his mastery in capturing both the physical likeness and inner essence of his subject. Drummond's commanding presence is immediately felt as he gazes directly at us with an air of confidence and intelligence. His finely tailored attire reflects his status as a prominent member of English society during that era. The intricate details in every fold and crease evoke a sense of opulence and refinement. The artist's use of mezzotint technique adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its overall richness. Shadows play across Drummond's face, highlighting his strong features while also hinting at a complex personality beneath the surface.
