James Thomson of Nether Bogie (1749 - 1831) is a 1820 oil by Henry Raeburn, a British Romanticism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This portrait features a man sitting in a chair, wearing a black coat and white cravat. He holds a book in his right hand, with a stack of books and quills on a table to his left. The man's attire and the setting suggest a formal, intellectual atmosphere. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality.
