Thomas Lamb of Rye (1719 - 1804) is a 1753 oil by Allan Ramsay, a Rococo painting work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
The painting depicts a man in an ornate blue coat with gold and silver embroidery, paired with a white shirt and a black hat. He is positioned in front of a dark background, with a red curtain visible on the right side of the image. The man's attire suggests a formal or official setting, possibly from the 18th century. The level of detail in the embroidery and the folds of the fabric indicate a high level of craftsmanship in the painting. This painting is a fine example of the work of artist Allan Ramsay.
