"Henry Dundas, engraved by S. Freeman" is a portrait engraving from the National Portrait Gallery's third volume, which was published around 1835. The original painting from which the engraving was derived was created by Sir Henry Raeburn, a renowned Scottish portrait painter of the 18th century. The subject of the portrait, Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville (1742–1811), was a significant Scottish advocate and Tory politician of the Georgian era. He wielded considerable influence in the British government, particularly in relation to Scotland, and was known by the nickname "Uncrowned King of Scotland."

The engraving by S. Freeman captures the likeness of Dundas as depicted by Raeburn, showcasing the artistic skills of both the painter and the engraver. Raeburn was known for his ability to portray his subjects with psychological insight and a naturalistic style, which Freeman would have aimed to preserve in his engraving. The work is part of a larger collection that aimed to celebrate and document the visages of notable individuals in British history.

As an engraving, this work would have been accessible to a wider audience than the original painting, allowing the image of Henry Dundas to circulate more broadly and contributing to the visual culture of the time. The portrait not only serves as a historical record of a prominent political figure but also reflects the collaborative efforts of artists across different mediums to preserve and disseminate the cultural heritage of their era.
