"Matthew Baillie (1761–1823) F.R.S. after Hoppner 1817 by Henry Bone" is a notable work of art that captures the essence of one of the most distinguished figures in the medical field of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This enamel portrait, crafted by the esteemed English enamel painter Henry Bone, is based on an original portrait by John Hoppner, a leading portraitist of the Regency era. The piece was completed in 1817 and serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the period.

Matthew Baillie, the subject of the portrait, was a pioneering Scottish physician and pathologist, renowned for his contributions to medicine, including his comprehensive study on morbid anatomy. His work laid the groundwork for modern pathology by linking diseases to specific organs and tissues. Baillie was not only a member of the Royal Society (F.R.S.) but also esteemed in medical circles for his diagnostic skills and his influential textbook, "The Morbid Anatomy of Some of the Most Important Parts of the Human Body" (1793), which was among the first systematic studies of pathology.

Henry Bone, the artist, was celebrated for his mastery in enamel painting, a meticulous and demanding medium that requires the application of colored enamels onto a metal surface, which is then fired at high temperatures to achieve a glass-like finish. Bone's work was characterized by its exceptional detail, vibrant colors, and durability, qualities that made his portraits highly sought after by the aristocracy and royalty of his time. His portrayal of Matthew Baillie not only captures the physical likeness but also conveys the intellectual stature and significance of Baillie's contributions to medical science.

The collaboration between Bone's artistic skill and Hoppner's original composition in "Matthew Baillie (1761–1823) F.R.S. after Hoppner 1817" offers a unique visual record of a key figure in medical history.
