EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, created by John Dixon in 1776, showcases a portrait of William John, the 5th Earl of Ancrum, also known as the Marquess of Lothian. The image, published in the same year, captures the Earl in his prime, dressed in the regal attire of the British aristocracy. He is depicted on horseback, with his arm extended, likely in a gesture of greeting or command. The scene is set in the Irish countryside, as evidenced by the rolling hills and lush greenery in the background. Two other men are present in the image, one on foot and the other on horseback, who are believed to be Lord Newbottle and Gilpin Sawrey, respectively. The Earl is flanked by his loyal companions, adding an element of camaraderie and strength to the portrait. The use of black smoke in the image adds a sense of drama and mystery, perhaps indicating a military context or a hunting scene. The mezzotint technique, which involves scraping the surface of a copper plate to create a textured image, results in a rich, tonal depth that enhances the intricacies of the Earl's attire and the details of the horses and their riders. The print is executed in black on ivory laid paper, which has discolored to a tan hue over time, adding to its antique charm. This historic portrait, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the lives of the 18th-century British aristocracy, showcasing their wealth, power, and connection to the land.
