Portrait of Sir Walter Scott Found in Tussaud Archives
A long neglected portrait of Sir Walter Scott, the Wizard of the North, has been found among the Tussaud family records in London. Dated about 1826, six years before Scott’s death, the work shows him aged and may be a study for a larger piece. The painting, on rough fabric, bears a difficult signature and could be by Sir David Wilkie, a close friend.
