Portrait of Captain Donald Campbell (1763-1793), half-length, in the uniform of the Royal Scots regiment

The sitter was the eldest son of Colonel Donald Campbell of Saddell Castle, Argyllshire (for whom see lot 49), and Anne, daughter of John Campbell of Barbreck. A 'Donald Campbell', who is presumably identifiable with the sitter, is recorded as having been in the Royal Scots regiment from 1779 to 1793. The sitter succeeded his father at Saddell Castle, and on his death, in 1793, was succeeded by his third brother, Major John Campbell (for whom see lot 50).
