Hugh Hope

A portrait of Hugh Hope, painted by Sir Henry Raeburn (1756–1823), currently hangs in The Cleveland Museum of Art.

Commissioned by the subject's family, Sir Henry Raeburn painted his portrait of Hugh Hope around 1810.

[1] An 1889 Scottish Art Review[2] described the painting as follows: The painting hung for over a hundred years at Pinkie House,[2] the Hope family estate near Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland, until 1928 when it was included in a Sotheby's London art auction.

[3] The painting was displayed at the Fogg Museum in 1930 as part of an exhibition of eighteenth and early nineteenth century English artists.

[5] Sir Archibald purchased the estate of Pinkie House in 1778 from the Marquis of Tweeddale[6] and established it as the seat of Hope baronetcy from its historic location of Craighall in Fife.
