"Portrait of the Right Honorable Robert Blair of Avontoun" is an oil painting by the renowned Scottish portrait artist Sir Henry Raeburn. Created in the early 19th century, this work of art depicts Robert Blair of Avontoun (1741–1811), a Scottish judge who served as the Solicitor General for Scotland and later as a Lord of Session, the judges of the Supreme Courts of Scotland. Raeburn, who was knighted by King George IV in 1822, was known for his distinctive style that captured the character and social standing of his subjects with a combination of realism and elegance.

The portrait is a testament to Raeburn's skill in portraying his subjects with dignity and psychological depth. It shows Blair dressed in judicial robes, seated in a naturalistic setting that suggests both his professional stature and his personal gravitas. The composition, use of light, and brushwork exemplify Raeburn's mastery of portraiture, making the painting an important example of his work and of Scottish art from the period.

As a historical figure, Robert Blair was notable for his legal career and his contribution to the Scottish Enlightenment, which was a period of intense intellectual and scientific activity in Scotland during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The portrait not only serves as a record of Blair's appearance but also as a cultural artifact reflecting the values and aesthetics of the time.

The painting is part of a collection of Raeburn's works that can be found in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Scotland's artistic heritage. It is celebrated for its craftsmanship and as a piece of historical documentation, offering insights into the era's judicial and social elite. The "Portrait of the Right Honorable Robert Blair of Avontoun" remains a significant piece for both art historians and those interested in the history of Scotland.
