This print showcases the exquisite "Bust of Sir Walter Scott" sculpted by Francis Legatt Chantrey in 1828. Crafted from marble, this remarkable piece stands at a height of 66.7 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The bust features intricate details that capture the essence of Sir Walter Scott, one of Scotland's most celebrated literary figures. Resting on a circular carved marble socle, the front bears an inscription with his name - WALTER SCOTT - while the reverse proudly states SIR WALTER SCOTT BART. MODELED 1820. FINISHED FROM HIS FACE 1828. BY F. CHANTREY. Chantrey's skillful artistry is evident in every curve and contour of this masterpiece, as he meticulously recreated Scott's likeness based on his actual face. The result is a lifelike representation that exudes both strength and intellect.
