Enquiry from an American collector
An enquiry was received from an American collector who owns what might be the third version of the painting Portrait of Lieutenant General Hay MacDowall by Sir Henry Raeburn. The other version is in the collection of the Rochester University in New York State. Previous research carried out by Duncan Bull while he was at the South African National Gallery in the 1970s proved invaluable. Duncan Bull is currently Senior Curator at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and kindly agreed to make available his research and to have it published on our web-site with the proviso that it be made clear that the research was carried out in 1976.
