About David Hume
Portrait of David Hume is a 1766 portrait painting by the British artist Allan Ramsay. It depicts the historian and philosopher David Hume, a key figure in the Scottish Enlightenment. The two men had a long connection as founders of The Select Society and Hume had consulted Ramsay on the first volume of his The History of England. The Scottish-born Ramsay was a leading portraitist of the Georgian era. He enjoyed notable patronage from George III and painted a number of portraits of the Royal Family, and had previously painted Hume in 1754.
