Which artist painted <image 1> of William Hunter, founder of the Hunterian? (A) Sir Joshua Reynolds (B) Sir Henry Raeburn (C) George Romney (D) Allan Ramsay Answer with the option's letter from the given choices directly. No punctuation. | A Difficulty: Medium Subfield: Drawing and Painting Explanation: Allan Ramsay's painting of his friend Dr William Hunter is a masterpiece of 'natural' portraiture. Unsigned, it dates from the mid-1760s, and was probably commissioned privately by Hunter to commemorate his appointment as physician extraordinary to Queen Charlotte in 1762. Ramsay was an obvious choice for the job. One of the official court artists, he was also a favourite among enlightenment figures in London and in Scotland.
