"Portrait of Henry Mackenzie" is an oil painting by the renowned Scottish portrait painter Sir Henry Raeburn. Henry Mackenzie (1745-1831), the subject of the portrait, was a prominent Scottish lawyer, novelist, and writer, best known for his sentimental novel "The Man of Feeling." Raeburn, born in 1756 and active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, was a leading portraitist of his time, celebrated for his ability to capture the character and social stature of his subjects.

The portrait of Mackenzie is a fine example of Raeburn's skill in portraying the intellectual elite of Scotland. It depicts Mackenzie in a thoughtful pose, often characteristic of Raeburn's approach to intellectual sitters, where the subject's personality and intellect are as much a part of the composition as the physical likeness. The painting is executed with the soft brushwork and subtle use of light for which Raeburn is known, highlighting the introspective nature of Mackenzie and his contributions to Scottish literature and culture.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not specified, it is likely from the late 18th or early 19th century, a period when Raeburn was at the height of his artistic career and Mackenzie was an influential figure in Edinburgh's literary circles. The portrait not only serves as a historical record of a key figure in Scottish Enlightenment but also exemplifies the artistic style and cultural atmosphere of the time.

The "Portrait of Henry Mackenzie" is considered an important work in Raeburn's oeuvre, reflecting the artist's mastery of portraiture and his significant role in documenting the intellectual heritage of Scotland. The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and critics and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of Scottish art history.
