"James Watt" is an iconic oil-on-canvas portrait by the renowned Scottish portrait painter Sir Henry Raeburn. The painting, which dates from around 1812, depicts the famous Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer James Watt, who is best known for his improvements to the steam engine—an advancement that played a crucial role in the Industrial Revolution. Raeburn, a leading portraitist of his time, was adept at capturing the character and essence of his subjects, and his portrayal of Watt is no exception.

In the portrait, Watt is shown seated, turned slightly to his left, with his head resting thoughtfully on his right hand. The pose suggests a moment of contemplation, befitting a man of science and invention. The subdued color palette and the soft, diffused lighting focus the viewer's attention on Watt's face, highlighting his intellectual demeanor. Raeburn's skillful use of light and shadow, along with his refined brushwork, creates a lifelike representation that conveys both the physical likeness and the introspective nature of the sitter.

The painting is significant not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, capturing the likeness of one of the key figures of the 18th century. It serves as a testament to Watt's legacy and the esteem in which he was held by his contemporaries. "James Watt" by Sir Henry Raeburn is held in high regard by art historians and is considered one of the artist's masterpieces. It is part of the collection of the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh, where it remains on public display, allowing visitors to appreciate both Raeburn's artistic talent and Watt's enduring impact on modern society.
