Katherine Scott R.A. A bust of George V signed: K. SCOTT bronze dark green patina h.71cm. Lady Kathleen Scott wife of 'Scott of the Antarctic' was descended from Scottish Royal family on her father's side and Phanariot aristocracy on her mother's. Orphaned at the age of eight her sense of independence motivated her to reject a teaching career and become a sculptor. She first attended the Slade School and then moved to the Academie Colarossi in Paris where she shared a flat with the designer Eileen Gray. At this time she also met Rodin who became a close friend and mentor. His influence on her early style can be seen in the fluidity of her statuettes which are now all in private collections. Predominantly Scott's output was in her portrait work for eminent male contemporaries. Perhaps her most famous work is of Captain Scott himself whom she married in 1908: a bronze bust which stands in Waterloo and was completed in 1915 two years after his death. Other sitters included four Prime Ministers: Herbert Asquith David Lloyd George Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain. In her memoirs Self-Portrait of an Artist (1949) she recounts on the 5th of March 1935 the sitting with king George for this bust. In another entry on the 11th of March she describes her frustration at having nearly completed the work. She felt that the likeness was not being quite perfect because there was "something fierce looking which the King is not". Her career reached its zenith in the inter war years. In this period she had six major exhibitions regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy became an associate member of the Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts (1923) and was awarded a bronze medal at the salon of the Societe des Artisites Francais (1925).
