Sir Francis Leggatt Chantrey's Drawing
of Sir Walter Scott (1820)
| The Ashmolean
Museum at Oxford University holds a pencil drawing evidently
made by Sir Francis Leggatt
Chantrey during one of the sittings that Sir Walter Scott
gave for his 1820 bust. It is
a study of Scott's head in profile to the left. A lithograph
(reversed) was made of the sketch by R. J. Lane and published
in his Lithographic Imitations of Sketches by Modern
Artists (1832). Click on the thumbnail, right, to see
a photogravure of the drawing as published in Sir James L.
Caw's The Scott Gallery (1903). |
