William Inglis, Captain of the Honourable Company
David Allan, c. 1787 · oil on canvas
What it is
The surgeon-captain William Inglis on the links at Leith, club in hand, the Company’s procession behind him.
Why it matters
Painted when the written rules were younger than the sitter; the game’s institutions, in oil.
What to notice
The procession in the background — golf already had ceremonies.
Office hours, then the links. Some schedules are eternal.
