Lot 72
Andrew Robertson M.A. (1777-1835) Portrait of Hugh Scott of Draycott (1777-1852), Captain of the Ceres, watercolour on ivory, Signed with monogram and inscribed Capt Scott by A. Robertson, 34 Gerard Street, 1815 on reverse, 8 x 7 cm (3.125 x 2.75 in) Provenance: By descent from the sitter. Hugh Scott was a cousin of Sir Walter Scott of Abbotsford (Hugh’s grandfather was Sir Walter’s Grandfather’s elder brother) He is mentioned in Memoirs of the life of Walter Scott as “Captain Hugh Scott of the East India Company’s Naval Service (now of Draycote House, near Derby), second son to the late Laird of Raeburn” page 234. It seems that Hugh Scott gave Walter Scott 24 pieces of Chinese wallpaper each 12 foot high by four foot wide enough to “finish the drawing room and two bedrooms (at Abbotsford)”. The wallpaper is still on the walls at Abbotsford and it would seem highly probable that Hugh Scott brought this gift back with him on the Ceres from China. Sir Walter Scott’s brother, Robert Scott, of Rosebank, was also in the East India Company and the last Commander of the Neptune.
