"Raeburn's The Rev. Walker Skating on Duddingston Loch, from the National Gallery of Scotland"
2000-12-05 until 2001-01-21
Frick Collection
New York, NY,
USA
In another of its ongoing series of single-picture exhibitions, The Frick Collection will present
Raeburn’s celebrated skating minister on loan from the National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh.
Completed by Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823) around 1784, this image of the Rev. Robert
Walker—minister of the Canongate Kirk and an avid member of the Skating Society—is one of the
Gallery’s most beloved works.
The graceful figure elegantly clad in black and silhouetted against a
luminescent, late afternoon sky effectively conveys the subject’s sense of pleasure and ease in his
solitary activity. The painting will be displayed in the Library with other examples of Raeburn’s
work from The Frick Collection.
