An impressive full-length portrait of David Stewart of Garth (1772-1829), in the dress uniform of a Highland regiment, with kilt, sporran and medals. He held commissions in several Highland regiments, notably the 42nd Royal Highland Regiment, (The ‘Black Watch’), with whom he fought during the French Revolutionary Wars, including Flanders (1794), West Indies (1795), the capture of Minorca (1798) and Alexandria (1801). He ended his career as governor of St Lucia, where he died of fever. His book, 'Sketches of the Character, Manners, and Present State of the Highlanders of Scotland', is considered the foundation for all subsequent work on Highlanders, clans and Scottish regiments system. This portrait was probably painted when he was promoted to Major General in 1825; it was exhibited in 1832 (after his death) and is now in the Black Watch Castle & Museum.
