This is a set of nine Jacobite portraits in oil in an octagonal frame, painted in the 18th century.
The artist is unknown but the work is tentatively attributed to Sir Robert Strange, well known for his miniature Jacobite portraits painted in Edinburgh for commissioned clients before his escape to France in 1746.
The sitter, in clockwise order from top left, are the Marquis of Tullibardine, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, 3rd Lord Nairne, 3rd Earl of Derwentwater, Lucy Dean, Countess of Mar, Flora Macdonald and in the centre, from left to right, Countess of Nairne and Lord Nithsdale.
Lucy Dean cannot yet be identified but she may have been the client who commissioned the work.
There is an early handwritten label verso with the names of the sitters.
