John Wauchope (1751 - 1828) is a 1818 oil by Henry Raeburn, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting is a portrait of an older man with white hair, dressed in a black coat and a white shirt. The background is dark, which makes the subject stand out. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting is reminiscent of the work of Henry Raeburn.
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.
