Little is known of the sitter but there are numerous links with Raeburn. Mylne married, in 1785, Anne, a relative of David Hunter of Blackness, Dundee (1734-1809), a noted art collector who had sat to Raeburn circa 1788 (D. Mackie, op.cit., no. 414; National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh).
Captain David Kinloch (1736-1818), another sitter to Raeburn in the early 1970s (Mackie, op.cit., no.492), married, in 1786, as his second wife, Isabella Mylne, daughter of a Thomas Mylne of Milnefield. Isabella had previously sat to Gainsborough. Mylne's painting is clearly part of this circle of patronage. On stylistic grounds, the portrait is a work of the mid-1790s, probably done at most some four or five years before the sitter's death.
