Celebrated as the first missionary of the Church of Scotland to the subcontinent, Duff dedicated his life to establishing schools that blended Western education with Indian culture, ultimately laying the groundwork for modern educational reform in the region. Rendered on a bright beige paper background, the artwork employs sweeping overdrawn lines and subtle colors to convey a sense of depth and emotion, while dynamic hatching and the use of white chalk for highlights add an ethereal quality to the portrait. The unusual perspective and sensual gestures evoke the complexity of Duff's character and his profound dedication to his mission.
