Dr Gardiner (1726 - 1807) is a 1806 oil by Henry Raeburn, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This portrait depicts an older man with white hair, dressed in dark attire. He sits in a red chair, with a dark background behind him. The subject's face is illuminated, while the rest of the image is in shadow, creating a striking contrast. His expression is serious, and his gaze is directed forward. This painting is a fine example of Henry Raeburn's work, and it can be found at the Scottish National Gallery.
Sir Henry Raeburn (; 4 March 1756 – 8 July 1823) was a Scottish portrait painter. He served as Portrait Painter to King George IV in Scotland.
