Robert and Ronald Ferguson became members of the Royal Company of Archers in 1792 and 1801 respectively, and the contemporary revival of archery as a fashionable sport appears to have inspired the composition.\n\nThe two brothers are shown in a striking and complex geometrical arrangement that plays on tonal contrasts. Robert, in wonderfully outlined profile, is lit from the left, while Ronald behind him is shown entirely in shadow, gazing out at the viewer while framed in the tautened bow held by his elder brother. The horizontal arrow precisely divides the canvas in two. The way the figures are arranged resembles a classical sculptural frieze – appropriate to Scotland of the Enlightenment, when a renewed interest in antiquity influenced the thought and aesthetics of the country.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/sir-henry-raeburn-the-archers\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Archers\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sir Henry Raeburn","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":44294627164273,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (43 1\/2\" x 48 5\/8\")","offer_id":44294627197041,"sku":null,"price":3279.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (16 7\/8\" x 18 7\/8\")","offer_id":44294627229809,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (20 3\/4\" x 23 1\/4\")","offer_id":44294627262577,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (25 3\/8\" x 28 3\/8\")","offer_id":44294627295345,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (32 3\/4\" x 36 3\/4\")","offer_id":44294627328113,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (39 3\/8\" x 44\")","offer_id":44294627360881,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (46 3\/8\" x 52\")","offer_id":44294627393649,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (55 5\/8\" x 62 1\/8\")","offer_id":44294627426417,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/3934\/0401\/files\/RobertFergusonofRaith.jpg?v=1787542698","url":"https:\/\/mastermuseumreplicas.com\/products\/the-archers-ngal1621","provider":"Master Museum Replicas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
