Catherine Tower was painted by Henry Raeburn (1756-1823), as "Mrs Lumsden". The painting is owned by the Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow, Scotland.(ArtUK)
"The sitter, Catherine Tower, was the third daughter of John Tower and Elizabeth Cruger. Her maternal great-grandfather had been Mayor of New York. In 1815 she married Henry Lumsden of Tilwhilly and Auchindoir in Aberdeenshire. The artist who captured her likeness, Henry Raeburn, is one of the best known Scottish portrait painters. In his lifetime the considerable demand for his work allowed him to maintain a successful career within Scotland, and he spent most of his working life in Edinburgh. Bequeathed by Dr Charles Hepburn, 1971" This image is in the public domain. Copyright on the painting has expired. Source: Hunterian Art Gallery collections, catalogue number GLAHA 44018
