Revd Dr Robert Walker - known as The Skating Minister is one of our Best Sellers. Do you know the controversy around it? In 2005 a curator from the Scottish National Portrait Gallery suggested that the painting was by French artist Henri-Pierre Danloux rather than by Henry Raeburn. Since then, people have debated this idea. It's argued that Henri-Pierre Danloux was in Edinburgh during the 1790s, which happens to be the time period when The Skating Minister was created. Supposedly the canvas and scale of the painting appears to be that of a French painter, although Henry Raeburn critics argue otherwise... what do you think? Will Revd Dr Robert Walker be skating into your life for Christmas?
