A fine etching showing an aging Rob Roy (1671-1734) and is taken from a painting by John Pettie (location unknown). It was likely inspired by Pettie’s, and Orchar’s, interest in the novels of Sir Walter Scott and the growing interest in Scottish Romanticism and History. The remarque portraits of a girl and a man are unidentified although it is possible that the male is a self-portrait of Richeton. The name ‘J.Pettie’ is included in print at bottom right. Below the print (beside remarque) ‘etched by Léon Richeton after J. Pettie R.A.’The remarque portraits and signature look to have been printed at the lower edge. There is a graphite inscription reading "With kind regards to the Keely ... Leon Richeton."
The etching has been presented in a simple and attractive fluted oak frame with gilt inner window.
On wove.The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. The original plate lines are in tact. Slight splitting to the lower right corner of the frame.
