This antique oil painting on canvas board board is a thoughtful interpretation of "The Skating Minister," officially titled "Reverend Robert Walker              The original work depicts Reverend Walker—     The original work depicts Reverend Walker—minister of Canongate Kirk and member of the Edinburgh Skating Society—gracefully gliding across a frozen loch. The skating club in Britain frequently skated on Duddingston or Lochend lochs, just outside Edinburgh.

Long attributed to Sir Henry Raeburn, questions have since arisen over the painting’s authorship. X-ray analysis revealed the absence of lead-white paint under the face—a hallmark of Raeburn’s technique—suggesting the work may instead be by Henri-Pierre Danloux, a French artist active in Edinburgh in the late 18th century.

This later interpretation beautifully captures the quiet elegance and poise of the reverend set against a stark, wintry landscape.        Whether inspired by Raeburn or Danloux, the painting evokes the cultural and historical charm of the original, while offering its own timeless appeal.
