Anne Erskine, Mrs John Wauchope of Edmonstone (1740 - 1811) is a 1802 oil by Henry Raeburn, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting depicts a woman in a green dress and black hat, with a subtle smile. She is shown from the waist up, facing the viewer. The woman's attire is formal, with a high neckline and long sleeves. Her hat is adorned with green feathers or flowers. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's attention to the woman's face.
