Abstract (en)

The recent exhibition of the work of Allan Ramsay in Edinburgh (Scottish National Portrait Gallery) and London (National Portrait Gallery) provided the opportunity for a detailed review of the picture frames associated with the artist's portraits. Of the 65 paintings in the show, perhaps 20 were in their original frames and another 15 in frames of the period. It is possible to group the frames into a number of distinctive types and to associate at least one of these, a variation on French Rococo frames, with Ramsay himself. It is also possible to identify Isaac Gosset as the framemaker most closely associated with the artist. Special attention given to Ramsay's court portraits.
