"Archibald Pitcairne" is an engraving by Robert Strange, a prominent Scottish engraver of the 18th century, known for his masterful technique and contributions to the art of printmaking. The work is a portrait of Archibald Pitcairne (1652–1713), a notable Scottish physician and satirist, who was a significant figure in the Scottish Enlightenment. Strange's engraving is notable for its fine detail and the skillful way in which it captures the character and intellect of its subject, reflecting the artist's ability to convey not just the physical likeness but also the personality and social stature of the individuals he depicted.

Robert Strange (1721–1792) was trained in France and Italy and became one of the leading engravers in Britain, celebrated for his reproductive engravings after famous paintings. His works were highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs of the time. The engraving of Archibald Pitcairne would have been created using traditional intaglio techniques, where the image is incised into a surface, and the incised line or sunken area holds the ink. It is an example of Strange's dedication to the art form and his meticulous attention to detail.

The portrait not only serves as a historical record of a prominent figure of the Scottish Enlightenment but also as a testament to the cultural exchange and artistic achievements of the 18th century. It reflects the era's interest in intellectualism, portraiture, and the dissemination of the images of key figures through the medium of print. The engraving would have contributed to the preservation and celebration of Pitcairne's legacy, as well as the promotion of Strange's own reputation as a master engraver.
