Andrew Ure (1778–1857), MD, FRS is a 1849 oil by Daniel Macnee, a Realism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a man with short, gray hair and a serious expression. He is dressed in a black jacket with a white shirt and a dark bow tie, and is seated with his hands resting on his lap. The man's attire suggests a formal setting, and the overall tone of the painting is somber. The use of dark colors and the subject's stern expression contribute to this atmosphere.
