Painted by John Pettie in oil on canvas, this artwork measures 91.5x71.1 cm and is housed at The McManus in Dundee, UK. The subject of this painting is William Robertson (1825-1899), who served as the Provost of Dundee from 1875 to 1878. With his half-length pose and commanding presence, Robertson exudes authority and wisdom. His beard, balding head, and spectacles add character to his profile. As a civic leader and functionary during the Victorian era, Robertson contributed greatly to the development of Dundee. This portrait serves as a testament to his dedication and commitment towards serving his community. Pettie's attention to detail brings out the depth of expression on Robertson's face while capturing the unique features that make him distinctly Scottish.

Displayed within the halls of Dundee Art Galleries and Museums for all visitors to appreciate, this portrait not only showcases Pettie's artistic talent but also commemorates an important individual who shaped the city’s destiny with his leadership skills and vision for progress.
