The "Portrait of Adam Black" by the English School is a notable example of 19th-century portraiture, capturing the likeness of the influential Scottish publisher and politician, Adam Black. Although the specific artist remains unidentified, the work is attributed to the English School, a term that broadly encompasses artists working in England during this period who were influenced by the prevailing artistic trends and techniques of the time.

Adam Black (1784–1874) was a prominent figure in the world of publishing and politics. He co-founded the publishing firm A. & C. Black with his nephew Charles Black, which became renowned for its high-quality publications, including the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Black also served as the Lord Provost of Edinburgh from 1843 to 1848 and was a Member of Parliament for the city from 1856 to 1865. His contributions to literature and public service made him a respected and influential figure in 19th-century Britain.

The portrait itself is a testament to the skill and artistry of the English School. It likely dates from the mid-19th century, a period characterized by a focus on realism and detailed representation in portraiture. The artist has rendered Black with meticulous attention to detail, capturing not only his physical appearance but also conveying a sense of his character and stature. The use of light and shadow, as well as the careful depiction of textures, such as the fabric of his clothing and the texture of his skin, are indicative of the high level of craftsmanship associated with the English School.

This portrait not only serves as a visual record of Adam Black's appearance but also reflects the broader cultural and artistic values of the time. It exemplifies the importance placed on individual achievement and the role of portraiture in commemorating and celebrating influential figures in society. The "Portrait of Adam Black" remains an important piece within the context of 19th-century British art, offering insight into the era's artistic practices and the individuals who shaped its cultural landscape.
