Old Trinity Church, Edinburgh is a 1848 unspecified by Henry Gibson Duguid, a British Romanticism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
The painting depicts a large stone church with a tall arched window on its front facade. The church is situated in a city, with buildings and hills visible in the background. In the foreground, people are gathered near the church, some standing and others sitting on a bench. The painting features a muted color palette, with shades of brown and gray dominating the scene. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye towards the church. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artists who specialize in chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
Henry Gibson Duguid (1805–1860) was an artist.
