Sir Henry Raeburn was born in Stockbridge, Edinburg, Scotland on March 4, 1756. He was a portrait painter and served as King George IV’s portrait painter in Scotland. Orphaned at a young age, he was supported by his older brother William and received education for Heriot’s Hospital. He apprenticed as a goldsmith at fifteen and later produced miniature portraits.
